FROM TRADITIONAL TO MODERNITY RECONCEPTUALIZING PEACE KEEPING.

            As a result of the evolution of peace keeping, academics, the military and civilians institutions have attempted to conceptualize and categorize the activities of post – cold war peace keeping, for example, Goulding suggest that before 1988 peace keeping had been viewed as HOMOGENIOUS activity, yet now it is possible to identify six (6) types of peace keeping

1. Preventive deployment
2. Traditional peace keeping
3. Operation set up to support implementation of a comprehensive settlement which has already been agreed upon by the parties
4. Operation that protects the delivery of humanitarian relief supplies in condition of warfare
5. Deployment of a force in a country where the institutions of the state have more or less collapsed
6. Ceasefire enforcement

Wentges proposes Delegatory peace keeping comprising of;

a)      Regionalization (AU, ECOWAS)

b)      Privatization (NGO’s)

c)      Enforcement subcontracting
