Abstract
One of the most consistent findings in research on UN peace operations (UNPOs) is that they reduce violence. Scholarship has focused on how UNPOs solve the security dilemma but overlooked their role in maintaining parties' political commitment to reforms, which we conceptualize as the implementation problem. While troops ensure that belligerents refrain from violence, military force alone cannot explain how UNPOs persuade elites to implement inclusive political reforms that threaten their status. This article redresses this omission by identifying the mechanisms that explain the peacebuilding success of UNPOs using a multi-method research design. We argue that UNPOs support inclusive peace when operating under predominantly peacebuilding mandates that enable them to sustain the host governments' commitment to implementing inclusive policies. We test this argument using a new dataset on UNPO mandates and use original fieldwork on three UNPOs in Burundi to illustrate how UNPO peacebuilding capacity enables inclusive peace.
