UN peacekeeping operations are viewed as a relevant instrument of conflict
resolution in the post-Cold War era. A significant part of them operates in
Africa, the place with the largest “demand” for conflict resolution. Why are
some operations successful, while others not? What are the determinants
of their success? The author focuses on six determinants relevant for the
outcome of peacekeeping operations: support of the UN Security Council, a
clear and feasible mandate, equipment and size of the operation, duration
of the operation, will of the belligerents to end the conflict peacefully and
support of an African regional organization. Based on case studies
representing ten UN peacekeeping operations in Africa, the author
evaluates the determinants of success and thus shows the difficult striving
of UN peacekeeping for success.
