In this chapter, Milla Vaha and Anna Powles analyse how Pacific Island countries exercise agency in global security cooperation using a case study of peacekeeping operations. They pose several questions, including how Pacific Island peacekeepers provide legitimacy to regional interventions (particularly in their engagement with locals); the extent to which metropolitan powers may dominate regional peacekeeping interventions; and how the experiences of Pacific Island peacekeepers who have been on international peacekeeping missions are shared. Vaha and Powles also consider why Pacific Island countries participate in peacekeeping operations. Vaha and Powles conclude by examining the impact of Pacific contributions to global security cooperation on regional security cooperation.
