Description
This paper examines how concepts from the academic field of trust research can be utilised to better understand the form and function of civilian protection in areas where a UN peace operation is deployed. Trust is rarely interrogated in the field of UN interventions. This paper addresses this gap by incorporating theoretical and methodological contributions from trust scholarship to attempt to develop a framework for better understanding how key stakeholders engaged in UN interventions perceive the role, nature and effects of trust in the relationships required to undertake such operations
