Document Summary
What are some of the explanations in peacekeeping literature regarding where peacekeepers are deployed which focus on the characteristics of a civil war/ state? (p. 355-356) Target: states who are economically weak, militarily weak, unstable gov are unlikely to resolve problems alone - sent where conflicts are high casuality and long lasting. The weight of the evidence thus suggests that formal agreements (i. e. lack of clear victory) increase the chances of receiving pkos, albeit that there is no clear consensus on this in the literature. Finally, some evidence suggests that civil wars in which a major power intervened are less likely to receive peacekeepers. However, if the major power was involved as a mediator or an inter- Governmental organization (igo) intervened previously, peacekeeping is more likely to occur than a unilateral intervention. The latter finding implies that past involvement creates a sense of common responsibility for the conflict.
