- Abstract:
- This study will focus on the preventive deployment in Macedonia with special emphasis on the theory of preventive diplomacy. Nicolaidis's prevention action model is used as an analytical framework. In the model, the concept of coercive diplomacy is helpful in explaining the preventive deployment in Macedonia. The United Nations Preventive Deployment Force (UNPREDEP) in Macedonia is the first United Nations peacekeeping operations with a mandate on preventive deployment. The study aims to contribute to the improvement of preventive diplomacy in order for this to become a tool for conflict prevention in inter- and intra-state conflicts. It also offers suggestions and lessons for future preventive deployment activities.
