Where do peacekeepers go? Unpacking the determinants of UNSC-authorized peace operation deployments

鉴于这一研究难题，本项目希望进一步阐明以下问题：当武装冲突爆发时，谁来进行维和？各国是否决定只向联合国特派团、只向非联合国特派团或向两者派遣人员？这一决定是否受到冲突类型的影响，从而受到管理冲突所需任务类型的影响（简单案例与困难案例）？联合国特派团和非联合国特派团在部署到同一冲突时是否执行同样的任务（重复、低效竞争）？或者，在应对武装冲突需要维持和平时，联合国和区域组织是否协调其做法（分工）？如果是这样的话，在管理冲突方面，非联合国特派团是否有时比联合国维持和平特派团更受欢迎，因为它们更有效？

In view of this research puzzle, the present project wants to shed more light on the following question: when an armed conflict erupts, who is going to do the peacekeeping? Will states decide to contribute personnel only to UN missions, only to non-UN missions or to both? Is this decision influenced by the type of conflict and, thus, the type of tasks required to manage the conflict (easy vs. hard cases)? Are UN and non-UN missions performing the same tasks when they are deployed to the same conflict (duplication, inefficient competition)? Or do UN and regional organizations coordinate their approaches when peacekeeping is desirable in responding to an armed conflict (division of labour)? And if this is so, are non-UN missions sometimes preferred to UN peacekeeping missions in managing conflict because they are more effective?
