This paper examines China’s evolving role in peacekeeping operations in Africa, focusing on its bid to be recognized as a norm leader in global security within the international community. While China’s participation in United Nations peacekeeping missions has significantly increased, particularly in Africa, this involvement serves dual purposes that are enhancing its international standing and securing its geopolitical and economic interests in strategically important regions. The paper also attempts to critically analyze China’s peacekeeping activities through the lens of Xi Jinping’s Global Security Initiative, revealing an intricate blend of humanitarian rhetoric and strategic motives. By aligning its peacekeeping strategy with broader foreign policy objectives, China seeks not only to contribute to regional stability but also to expand its influence and challenge the existing Western-centric security order. The study highlights the complexities of China’s peacekeeping efforts and suggests that its increased engagement is part of a strategic plan to reshape global security norms and assert its power as a dominant force in the Global South.
Abstract
This paper examines China’s evolving role in peacekeeping operations in Africa, focusing on its bid to be recognized as a norm leader in global security within the international community. While China’s participation in United Nations peacekeeping missions has significantly increased, particularly in Africa, this involvement serves dual purposes that are enhancing its international standing and securing its geopolitical and economic interests in strategically important regions. The paper also attempts to critically analyze China’s peacekeeping activities through the lens of Xi Jinping’s Global Security Initiative, revealing an intricate blend of humanitarian rhetoric and strategic motives. By aligning its peacekeeping strategy with broader foreign policy objectives, China seeks not only to contribute to regional stability but also to expand its influence and challenge the existing Western-centric security order. The study highlights the complexities of China’s peacekeeping efforts and suggests that its increased engagement is part of a strategic plan to reshape global security norms and assert its power as a dominant force in the Global South.
