Felix Haass and Nadine Ansorg argue that peace operations with a large share of troops from countries with high-quality militaries are better able to deter violence from state and non-state actors and create buffer zones within conflict areas, can better reach remote locations, and have superior capabilities \u2013 including diplomatic pressure by troop contributing countries \u2013 to monitor the implementation of peace agreements.<\/p>\n<p>These operational advantages enable them to better protect civilians. Combining data from military expenditures of troop contributing countries together with monthly data on the composition of peace operations, the authors create a proxy indicator for the average troop quality of UN PKOs. Statistical evidence from an extended sample of conflicts in Africa and Asia between 1991 and 2010 supports their argument.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/0022343318785419\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Access to this publication.<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>in: Journal of Peace Research, 55:6, 742\u2013758<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2681","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-publication"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Better peacekeepers, better protection?
