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." -- $c Jacket. 610 20 $a United Nations $x Evaluation. $x Evaluation. 610 27 $a United Nations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00530351 650 0 $a Civil war $x Protection of civilians. 650 7 $a Civil war $x Protection of civilians. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00862886 700 1 $a Kathman, Jacob D., $e author. 700 1 $a Shannon, Megan, $e author. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220526015303.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=697F5E16E9E911EBBBC9467A3DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
