Summary/Abstract: High dynamics of changes in security environment, deepening globalization, and growth of current and new, predominantly asymmetric, threats make on international society permanently new demands and require new more complex approach towards the issue. One of the most significant tools of international community for keeping peace and security on the international level, restraining centres of tension, consolidation or stabilization of relations in crisis areas, and multilateral reconstruction and restoration of the countries after armed conflicts, represent peace operations within international crisis management. Peace operations have changed a lot throughout the last fifty years, and today, unlike the past, they represent highly complex, dynamic, demanding and multidimensional activities. Therefore, the main aim of an author is to point out the significance of theoretical and terminological basis for research in the field of peace operations.
