Naming Names: UN Security Council Resolution Sentiment in Civil Wars

In Handbook on Peacekeeping and International Relations, Edited by Han Dorussen, Edward Elgar Publishing

(with Michelle Benson)

Abstract:

In the chapter, we describe the nature, process, and dimensions of UNSC resolutions. Using an original dataset on UNSC resolutions paired with UCDP/PRIO civil conflicts, we provide information on the distribution of UNSC resolutions across time and civil conflict countries. Finally, we illustrate how resolutions vary in terms of UNSC sentiment towards conflict actors. These data, we suggest, can provide insight into the UNSC and be utilized to explain its behavior.
