| Summary / Abstract (Note) | This article provides an overview of peacekeeping studies in the behavioural tradition, namely those driven by a theoretical orientation to explain causal relationships and ones in which those theoretical arguments are tested by reference to historical cases, often in a large-N and statistically dependent research design. Critiques of existing studies focus on how the importation of theoretical approaches and the availability of data have conditioned existing research. Several pathways for future research are outlined, including better theoretical development, broader and more varied indicators of peacekeeping success, greater attention to unintended consequences, adoption of spatial frameworks of analysis, and paying greater attention to non-UN operations. |
