It was awarded to the best publication inConflict Management and Peace Science, for“United Nations peacekeeping dynamics and the duration of post-civil conflict peace,” by Lisa Hultman, Jacob Kathman, and Megan Shannon.
In their article, Hultman, Kathman and Shannon construct a fine-grained dataset regarding the types of deployment and personnel strength of UN peacekeepers. The authors show that the deployment of armed troops is effective in increasing the durability of post-conflict settlements. In contrast, utilizing unarmed observers appears to have no effect on extending the durability of peace.
