Civil wars have caused tremendous human suffering in the last
century, and the United Nations is often asked to send peacekeepers
to stop ongoing violence. Yet despite being the most visible tool
of international intervention, policymakers and scholars have
little systematic knowledge about how well peacekeeping works.
Peacekeeping in the Midst of War offers the most comprehensive
analyses of peacekeeping on civil war violence to date. With unique
data on different types of violence in civil wars around the world,
Peacekeeping in the Midst of War offers a rigorous understanding of
UN intervention by analysing both wars with and without UN
peacekeeping efforts. It also directly measures the strength of UN
missions in personnel capacity and constitution. Using large-n
quantitative analyses, the book finds that UN peacekeeping missions
with appropriately constituted force capacities mitigate violence
in civil wars. The authors conclude by analyzing the broader
context of UN intervention effectiveness, and conclude that
peacekeeping is a more generally effective way to reduce the human
suffering associated with civil war.
