Abstract

The Role of Regional and Sub-Regional Organisations in International Peacekeeping was the selected theme of the Third Annual Meeting of the International Association of Peacekeeping Training Centres. The meeting, which was organised by the Peace and Conflict Studies Programme of the Institute of International Affairs, Foundation for International Studies, in collaboration with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Malta and the Armed Forces of Malta, was held on the premise that the changing context of peacekeeping operations must be catered for at training level. Training centres were part of the general debate on the development of international peacekeeping, with its new emphasis on regional organisations. The meeting was divided into two workshops.
