ABSTRACT

Despite the relevance of inter-organizationally managed peace operations, research on their effectiveness is still limited. This study analyses the effectiveness of one inter-organizational peace operation, the AU-EU cooperation in response to the 2013 crisis in the Central African Republic. Conceptualizing effectiveness through an actor- and target-related perspective, it hypothesizes resource exchange, inter-organizational convergence, and a supportive conflict setting as processes conducive to effective action. The findings suggest that the cooperation was effective since the partners exchanged resources, had a high convergence, and acted within a supportive conflict setting.

摘要

尽管跨组织管理的和平行动具有相关性，但对其有效性的研究仍然有限。本研究分析了一项跨组织和平行动的有效性，即非盟-欧盟合作应对 2013 年中非共和国危机的有效性。通过与参与者和目标相关的视角来概念化有效性，它假设资源交换、组织间融合和支持性冲突环境是有利于有效行动的过程。研究结果表明，合作是有效的，因为合作伙伴交换了资源，具有高度的收敛性，并在支持性冲突环境中采取行动。
