Abstract

While United Nations Security Council sanctioned peacekeeping minimizes free riding because a universal funding formula is applied to all UN members, there are political constraints on both how much money is available, and which missions the Council will approve. We argue that resulting from these constraints five other international peacekeeping organizational arrangements have come into existence – those through alliances, bespoke coalitions, hybrid between different organizations, location specific and UN Trust Funds. We examine the economic characteristics that frame the requirements for these peacekeeping organizations to come into operation.
