- why is peacekeeping central to development?
- what does she say about the role of prevention in the responsibility to protect as part of international peace keeping?
    - should peace makers prevent conflict? Or react to it militarily once it has happened?
- is it important to pay attention to what is happening at the local level?
- why did those responsible for keeping the peace in Congo not pay attention to local conflicts?
    - at what levels were they addressing issues?
- observe how peacekeeping policies and procedures are developed by those distant from the conflict
- observe how procedures are embedded in the dominant international peace building culture that makes it difficult for flexible implementation that builds from local realities
