Replication Data for: United Nations Peacekeeping, Democratic Process, and the Durability of Peace after Civil Wars

This article examines the ways in which United Nations (UN) peacekeeping missions affect democratic progress and the durability of peace in post–civil war states. After a conflict, UN peacekeeping missions provide security and create incentives for former actors to resolve their differences through peaceful and democratic means. This article contends that by providing support, peacekeeping missions help to initiate a democratic process such that former rivals can claim access to power and resources without resorting to armed conflict. To arrive at this conclusion, this article empirically examines whether UN peacekeeping missions succeeded in promoting democratic progress in postwar states and, subsequently, whether that democratic progress would contribute to the durability of peace. The indirect effect of peacekeeping on stable peace has not been explored in the literature surrounding democratic progress and the durability of peace. From the analysis of the data on post–civil war democratic progress and the durability of peace from 1946 to 2005, I find support for the alternative approach and conclude that UN missions contribute to durable peace in post–civil war states by promoting democratic political processes.

本文探讨联合国（United Nations, UN）维和行动对战后内战国家的民主发展与和平持久性的影响路径。冲突结束后，联合国维和行动可为前交战各方提供安全保障，并创设激励机制，促使其通过和平与民主途径化解分歧。本文主张，维和行动通过提供支持，助力启动民主进程，使昔日敌对双方能够主张获取权力与资源的权利，而无需诉诸武装冲突。为得出上述结论，本文通过实证分析，检验联合国维和行动是否成功推动了战后国家的民主发展，进而验证该民主发展是否有助于提升和平的持久性。在现有关于民主发展与和平持久性的研究文献中，维和行动对稳定和平的间接影响尚未得到充分探讨。通过对1946年至2005年间战后内战国家民主发展与和平持久性的相关数据进行分析，本文的实证结果支持上述替代性研究路径，并得出结论：联合国维和行动通过推动民主政治进程，助力战后内战国家实现持久和平。
