Resumo: Considering the 50th anniversary of the accession of the People’s Republic of China to the United Nations (UN), this article aims at exploring the change in the country’s position towards the Security Council, analyzing the increasing Chinese participation in Peace Operations. Starting with a literature review, we present the main characteristics of Peace Operations and the key challenges faced by the Council in applying such tool. Second, we introduce an analysis on the progressive change in China’s engagement in these operations. Current discussions on the topic consider three phases: abstention (1971-1981); rapprochement and flexibilization (1982-1998); and increasing cooperation (2001-2010). We suggest a fourth phase, called active engagement (2010-2020) in which the country becomes a key player holding the position of second largest contributor to the budget of peace operations and being among the top ten Troop and Police Contributing Countries. The data regarding contributions were collected from official UN reports and indicate the growing relevance of China to the funding and logistic support of peace operations, areas that since de 1990s represent great challenges to the UN.

A partir de uma revisão bibliográfica, são apresentadas as principais características das operações de paz e os principais desafios enfrentados pelo Conselho na utilização desse instrumento. Em seguida, é estudada a progressiva mudança do engajamento da China nas missões. A literatura trata de três fases: abstenção (1971-1981); aproximação e flexibilização (1982-1998); e gradativa cooperação (2001-2010). Propomos uma quarta fase, denominada engajamento ativo (2010-2020), na qual o país se destaca como o segundo maior contribuinte financeiro, além de entrar para a lista dos dez maiores países contribuintes de polícia e tropas para as missões. Os dados sobre tais contribuições foram coletados a partir dos relatórios oficiais da ONU e indicam a crescente relevância chinesa no financiamento e suporte das operações de paz, áreas essas que, desde os anos 1990, representam os principais desafios da ONU na área de segurança e defesa.UFRGS2021-08-31info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/ConjunturaAustral/article/view/11232610.22456/2178-8839.112326Conjuntura Austral; Vol. 12 No. 59 (2021): Special Issue: The Global South as viewed by Women; 49 - 60Conjuntura Austral; Vol. 12 Núm. 59 (2021): Dossier: El Sur Global pensado por mujeres; 49 - 60Conjuntura Austral; v. 12 n. 59 (2021): DOSSIÊ: O SUL GLOBAL PENSADO POR MULHERES; 49 - 602178-8839reponame:Conjuntura Australinstname:Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)instacron:UFRGSporhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/ConjunturaAustral/article/view/112326/64272Copyright (c) 2021 Talita de Mello Pinotti, Patricia Capelini Borelliinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessde Mello Pinotti, TalitaCapelini Borelli, Patricia2021-09-01T01:17:52Zoai:seer.ufrgs.br:article/112326Revistahttps://seer.ufrgs.br/ConjunturaAustralPUBhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/ConjunturaAustral/oaiconjunturaaustral@ufrgs.br||reisdasilva@hotmail.com||nerint@ufrgs.br||andre.reis@ufrgs.br2178-88392178-8839opendoar:https://seer.ufrgs.br/ConjunturaAustral/oaihttps://seer.ufrgs.br/ConjunturaAustral/oai2021-09-01T01:17:52Conjuntura Austral - Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)false
