联合国维和行动（PKO）在什么条件下执行其授权任务？当代维和行动预计将在冲突活跃地区履行日益分散的任务。我们认为，这两种趋势——日益分散的任务、越来越多地在暴力中执行——加剧了授权和协调问题，阻碍维和行动执行授权任务，并可能损害其在安理会、部队派遣国和东道国政府眼中的合法性。结合非洲维和行动活动和任务的新数据集（1998-2016），并使用工具变量和双向固定效应模型，我们发现任务分散与任务执行呈负相关，特别是对于建设和平任务。持续的暴力也与建设和平任务的执行呈负相关，但与安全任务无关。我们表明，这可能是由于政府和叛乱分子实施暴力的抵消效应，因为维和行动更有能力应对后者。

Under what conditions do UN peacekeeping operations (PKOs) implement the tasks in their mandates? Contemporary PKOs are expected to fulfill increasingly fragmented mandates in active conflict zones. We argue that these two trends—increasingly fragmented mandates, increasingly implemented amidst violence—exacerbate delegation and coordination problems that hinder PKOs from pursuing mandated tasks, potentially undermining their legitimacy in the eyes of the Security Council, troop-contributing countries, and host governments. Combining new data sets on PKO activities and mandates in Africa (1998–2016) and using instrumental variables and two-way fixed effects models, we find that mandate fragmentation is negatively correlated with mandate implementation, especially for peacebuilding tasks. Ongoing violence is also negatively correlated with implementation of peacebuilding tasks, but not with security tasks. We show that this is likely due to the offsetting effects of violence perpetrated by governments and rebels, as PKOs are better equipped to respond to the latter.
