Abstract
Do peacekeeping missions facilitate nonviolent political contention in post–civil war countries? The nonviolent expression of political grievances is a crucial part of the post–civil war peace-building process but is understudied thus far. We claim that the presence of peacekeepers significantly contributes to establishing a secure environment for nonviolent political contention, particularly nonviolent public protest. In addition, we claim that peacekeeping missions with personnel from countries with robust civil societies are more likely to promote nonviolent political contention because of prior socialization to civic engagement and bottom-top political participation. This is particularly true for UN police personnel (UNPOL), who both train local police forces and have the most direct interaction with protesters. We test our hypotheses using a newly crafted dataset on nonviolent protests in post–civil war countries and peacekeeping missions’ presence, size, and home-country composition. We find that peacekeeping missions’ presence significantly increases nonviolent protests in post–civil war country-years. This effect is largely explained by the presence of UNPOL from countries with strong civil societies. Our findings have important implications for our understanding of post–civil war political revitalization and policy implications for the composition of peacekeeping missions.

纠结成蓝色:内战后联合国维和行动对非暴力抗议的影响

摘要
维和特派团是否有助于内战后国家中的非暴力政治争执?政治不满的非暴力表达是内战后建设和平进程的重要组成部分,但迄今为止尚未得到充分研究。我们声称,维持和平人员的存在大大有助于为非暴力政治争端,特别是非暴力公众抗议建立安全的环境。此外,我们声称,由于事先进行公民参与和最底层的政治参与社会化,维持和平特派团与来自健全公民社会的国家的人员一起,更有可能促进非暴力政治争执。对于训练当地警察部队并与抗议者最直接互动的联合国警察人员(UNPOL)尤其如此。我们使用新建立的数据集来检验我们的假设,这些数据集涉及内战后国家的非暴力抗议活动以及维持和平特派团的存在,规模和母国组成。我们发现,维和特派团的存在大大增加了内战后国家/地区的非暴力抗议活动。造成这种影响的主要原因是具有强大公民社会的国家的联合国民警部队的存在。我们的发现对我们对内战后政治振兴的理解以及对维持和平特派团组成的政策影响具有重要意义。造成这种影响的主要原因是具有强大公民社会的国家的联合国民警部队的存在。我们的发现对我们对内战后政治振兴的理解以及对维持和平特派团组成的政策影响具有重要意义。造成这种影响的主要原因是具有强大公民社会的国家的联合国民警部队的存在。我们的发现对我们理解内战后的政治振兴以及对维持和平特派团组成的政策影响具有重要意义。
