Both examples show the importance of multilateralism in peacekeeping missions. The diversity of actors&amp;rsquo; experiences and capabilities, their cooperation, and the complementarity of their specific contributions are vital when dealing with the very complex and tangled challenges facing a conflict country. Several factors, including financial and military capacities, actors&amp;rsquo; own interests, domestic politics, policies, and standards, influence the level of trust and the nature of cooperation between actors and their positioning.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">137</style></section></record></records></xml>
