Effectiveness and Rebel Fragmentation" TZID:Europe/London UID:20180207-8a17841b5ffd0dc3015ffe5c344e45d0@warwick.ac.uk CREATED:20171127T164256Z DESCRIPTION:Abstract: UN peacekeeping operations (PKOs) function as an im portant conflict resolution mechanism by alleviating commitment problems between belligerents. The literature also suggests that peace processes can influence the internal cohesion of non-state actors engaging in civ il conflict. Actor fragmentation in civil conflicts exacerbates commitme nt problems both during and after the conflict. As a result\, rebel frag mentation increases conflict duration and the likelihood of recurrence. Although there are empirical and theoretical reasons to expect that rebe l group fragmentation might occur because of the peace process\, so far there is limited research on whether rebel fragmentation impacts UN invo lvement. Here we argue that the size of UN deployment impacts the “cost” of rebel fragmentation and\, thus\, the desire of rebel groups to susta in internal cohesion. On other hand\, UN might be less willing to get in volved in cases of highly fragmented conflicts. We assess our theoretica l claims by using data on peace processes and UN involvement in civil co nflicts. We adopt two approaches to investigate the moderating effect of UN intervention on rebel fragmentation. First\, we look at conflict dur ation by including all conflicts in the UCDP data for the period 1946-20 13. Then\, we use as dependent variable battle related deaths in African civil conflicts from 1992 to 2011. We expect that in highly fragmented conflicts UN PKO presence will reduce the duration and tension. Ismene G izelis is professor at the Department of Government in the University of Essex.
