本文探讨了联合国维和行动如何影响内战后国家的民主进程和和平的持久性。冲突后，联合国维和特派团提供安全保障，并鼓励前行为体通过和平与民主手段解决分歧。这篇文章认为，通过提供支持，维和特派团有助于启动一个民主进程，使以前的竞争对手能够在不诉诸武装冲突的情况下获得权力和资源。为了得出这一结论，本文实证研究联合国维和行动是否成功地促进了战后国家的民主进步，以及随后的民主进步是否有助于和平的持久性。在有关民主进步和和平持久性的文献中，没有探讨维持和平对稳定和平的间接影响。从内战后的民主进步和1946年至2005年的和平的持久性的数据分析，我发现支持的替代方法，并得出结论，联合国特派团有助于在内战后国家的持久和平，促进民主政治进程。
This article examines the ways in which United Nations (UN) peacekeeping missions affect democratic progress and the durability of peace in post–civil war states. After a conflict, UN peacekeeping missions provide security and create incentives for former actors to resolve their differences through peaceful and democratic means. This article contends that by providing support, peacekeeping missions help to initiate a democratic process such that former rivals can claim access to power and resources without resorting to armed conflict. To arrive at this conclusion, this article empirically examines whether UN peacekeeping missions succeeded in promoting democratic progress in postwar states and, subsequently, whether that democratic progress would contribute to the durability of peace. The indirect effect of peacekeeping on stable peace has not been explored in the literature surrounding democratic progress and the durability of peace. From the analysis of the data on post–civil war democratic progress and the durability of peace from 1946 to 2005, I find support for the alternative approach and conclude that UN missions contribute to durable peace in post–civil war states by promoting democratic political processes.
