ABSTRACT
This chapter provides a conspectus of the data and the argument so far, and then reconceptualizes the need for a set of normative goals for peace operations. This is followed by the relevant amendments to military doctrine, in the form of principles for the conduct of these operations. A transformed and restorative architecture for peace operations is illustrated through the depiction of a hypothetical civil war, peace force deployment and peace-building, based on restorative processes with a regenerative mentality. The coercion that is typical in military-heavy peace operations stems from military doctrine, theories of war, and an organizational culture that focuses on the professional use of violence Despite diligent reviews Responsibility to Protect and New Horizons, only slow progress has been made towards more far-reaching operations that thoroughly address the complexity that is inherent across the stakeholder levels of elite, and the local community and individual. Somalia and Bougainville illustrates peace operations with approaches at extreme ends of the spectrum.
