Abstract [en]

This study explores the motivations behind Swedish officers' decisions to serve as unarmed observers in the United Nations Truce Supervision Organization (UNTSO). Despite extensive research on military motivation in combat scenarios, little is known about the incentives for officers who engage in non-combatant roles in conflict zones. Using a qualitative interview methodology and Battistelli's motivation theory, this research aims to examining why Swedish officers choose such assignments.Findings indicate that motivations are based on paleomodern and postmodern motivations. Postmodern drives are more represented, but the result shows a deeply intertwined with personal values of international duty, peace advocacy, and the desire for challenging international experiences.
