This paper seeks to demonstrate the gradual transformation that the United Nations peacekeeping has undergone during the post-Cold War era. The recent peacekeepers not only keep, but also build the peace in certain circumstances. The study investigates this shift from traditional peacekeeping to second generation peacekeeping by focusing on the peacekeeping concept, the historical evolution of the mission, the reasons behind this transformation, and the differences between those two types of missions from a comparative perspective as well as the future challenges.
