Abstract
This book has argued that in the contemporary international system states launch peace enforcement operations within the framework of international organisations primarily because they wish to ensure the international legitimacy of these operations. This concluding chapter summarises and juxtaposes the findings of the five case studies in this project, noting differences but above all stressing the remarkable similarities among them. Overall, the empirical findings in this book support the legitimacy-centred theory of the role of international organisations against its main alternatives. This chapter then takes a step back from the focus on peace enforcement operations that has pervaded this project to situate these findings in the broader universe of international military activity. It also considers the one conspicuous exception to the trend studied here: the 2003 US-led invasion of Iraq, which portrayed itself as akin to a peace enforcement mission but did not occur under the auspices of an international organisation. It argues that this case illustrates not only the limits but also the strength of a legitimacy-based conception of the role of international organisations. Finally, the chapter reflects on the theoretical and practical implications of recognising international organisations as gatekeepers to legitimacy in the contemporary international system.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
