유엔 평화유지활동의 효과성에 영향을 미치는 요인에 관한 연구 = A Study on the Factors Affecting the Effectiveness of United Nations Peacekeeping Operations

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study empirically analyzes the factors affecting the effectiveness of United Nations peacekeeping operations(UN PKO) and derives policy implications based on the findings. Focusing on six missions in the Middle East and Africa, the research uses the Global Peace Index(GPI) as the dependent variable to assess the success or failure of each operation. The results show that participation by the permanent members(P5) of the UN Security Council has no statistically significant impact on mission success, while the level of UN-provided resources serves as a decisive factor. Host states’ economic capacity positively influences effectiveness, whereas excessive military power tends to constrain operations. The nature of conflict functions as a contextual condition rather than a direct determinant. Overall, peacekeeping effectiveness is shaped not by single variables but by the interaction among structural factors such as international political context, coordination among participants, and allocation of resources. The study contributes an integrated analytical framework for assessing peacekeeping effectiveness and provides practical insights for South Korea’s participation, emphasizing sufficient UN support, institutional capacity-building of host states, and proactive mission engagement.
