Replication Data for: Peacekeepers against Criminal Violence -- Unintended Effects of Peacekeeping Operations?
No full textResearch shows that peacekeepers reduce conflict intensity; however, effects of deployment on non-political violence are unknown. This article proposes a two-fold mechanism to explain why peacekeeping missions can inadvertently increase criminal violence. First, less conflict opens up economic opportunities (so-called peacekeeping economies) and provides operational security for organized crime, thus increasing violent competition among criminal groups. Second, demobilized combatants are vulnerable to turn to crime because of limited legal livelihood opportunities and their training in warfare. While UN troops may exacerbate these dynamics, UN police peculiar role is likely to successfully contain criminal violence. Cross-national and subnational empirical analyses show that large UN military deployments result in higher homicide rates whereas UN police, overall, moderates this collateral effect

Replication Data for: Keeping or Building Peace? UN Peace Operations Beyond the Security Dilemma
No full textOne of the most consistent findings on UN peace operations (UNPOs) is that they contribute to peace. Existing scholarship argues this is because UNPO peacekeeping troops solve the security dilemma that inhibits combatant disarmament and prevents their political leaders from sharing power. We argue that existing scholarship's focus on peacekeeping troops overlooks UNPOs' role in enabling power-sharing governments to implement redistributive power-sharing reforms contained in peace agreements, and their broader peace processes. While peacekeeping troops can help belligerents refrain from violence, military force alone cannot explain how political elites implement redistributive reforms that threaten their status. We argue that UNPOs that have predominant peacebuilding (as opposed to peacekeeping) mandates help sustain political elites' commitment to implementing peace agreement reforms and, thus, contribute to inclusive peace (increased political inclusion and reduced violence). We test our argument using a dataset on UNPO mandates and original fieldwork on three sequential UNPOs in Burundi
Bad signals? Foreign aid and tax morale across Sub-Saharan Africa
Full text linkDoes exposure to foreign aid projects affect citizens’ attitudes towards the state? We examine this question by combining geo-coded data on World Bank aid projects and survey data for 30 Sub-Saharan African countries. We compare individuals across administrative units that vary in the presence and type of aid projects and complement this approach with an unexpected event design that accounts for potential selection concerns. In both analyses, we find that projects focusing on public goods that do not involve the state reduce citizens’ tax morale. However, in locations where the state is not expected to be a public goods’ provider, externally provided public goods do not curb citizens’ tax morale. We interpret these results as evidence of foreign aid sending a public signal of the state's inability to deliver basic services. Our results can inform multilateral donors on the types and targets of interventions that can backfire on the state
