This paper critically evaluates the hybrid African Union (AU)-UN peacekeeping operation in Darfur, Sudan. The paper first gives a broad overview of the concept of co-deployment - a precursor to hybrid peacekeeping operations - and draws from comparative examples of deployments in West Africa in the 1990s and Burundi in 2004-2005, as well as the conflict between Ethiopia and Eritrea. The analyses highlight the need for a common definition and lead the author to argue that the 'hybrid' concept is in practice a political construct of conventional joint multinational operations.
