ABSTRACT

The United Nations (UN) has developed a complex and interconnected system of committees, representatives, and missions in support of its peace and security mandate. This article introduces the United Nations Peace Initiatives (UNPI) data set, which provides information on 469 UN initiatives aimed at conflict prevention and crisis management, mediation, peacekeeping, and peacebuilding. The data encompass all initiatives mandated by the UN Security Council, the General Assembly, as well as Secretary General between 1946 and 2015. This includes diplomatic, technocratic, political-development, and peacekeeping missions. UNPI data provide an empirical basis to assess the relative contributions of various UN subsidiary bodies to prevent, manage, and suppress the outbreak and recurrence of conflict. This article discusses the underlying rationale of the data collection, the coding rules, and procedures, and shows how UNPI can be combined with conflict data. Initial analyses show the increased use of different types of UN peace initiatives over time. The UN regularly deploys multiple peace initiatives to a dispute, often with significant periods of overlap. Ongoing hostilities and economic development are found to be key determinants of mission choice. In line with the theme of the Special Issue, the UNPI data set underscores the importance of, and provides a tool through which to examine the, interdependencies between various conflict management efforts.

1946-2015年联合国和平倡议:引入新的数据集

摘要

联合国(UN)已经建立了一个复杂的,相互联系的委员会,代表和特派团系统,以支持其和平与安全任务。本文介绍了联合国和平倡议(UNPI)数据集,该数据集提供了有关469项旨在预防冲突和危机管理,调解,维持和平和建设和平的联合国倡议的信息。数据涵盖了1946年至2015年联合国安理会,联合国大会以及秘书长授权的所有倡议。其中包括外交,技术官僚,政治发展和维持和平特派团。UNPI的数据为评估联合国各个附属机构在预防,管理和制止冲突爆发和再次发生方面的相对贡献提供了经验基础。本文讨论了数据收集的基本原理,编码规则和过程,并展示了如何将UNPI与冲突数据结合起来。初步分析表明,随着时间的推移,越来越多地使用不同类型的联合国和平倡议。联合国定期为争端部署多项和平倡议,通常会有大量重叠时间。正在进行的敌对行动和经济发展是特派团选择的关键决定因素。符合《特刊》的主题,UNPI数据集强调了各种冲突管理工作之间相互依存的重要性,并提供了一种工具来检查这些相互依存关系。初步分析表明,随着时间的推移,越来越多地使用不同类型的联合国和平倡议。联合国定期为争端部署多项和平倡议,通常会有大量重叠时间。正在进行的敌对行动和经济发展是特派团选择的关键决定因素。符合《特刊》的主题,UNPI数据集强调了各种冲突管理工作之间相互依存的重要性,并提供了一种工具来检查这些相互依存关系。初步分析表明,随着时间的推移,越来越多地使用不同类型的联合国和平倡议。联合国定期为争端部署多项和平倡议,通常会有大量重叠时间。正在进行的敌对行动和经济发展是特派团选择的关键决定因素。符合《特刊》的主题,UNPI数据集强调了各种冲突管理工作之间相互依存的重要性,并提供了一种工具来检查这些相互依存关系。
