This article investigates peacekeeping burden sharing during the period 2001 to 2006 for NATO allies and a more inclusive sample, which contains the main peacekeeping contributors. A Kendall rank correlation test for peacekeeping burdens and gross domestic product is applied to ascertain whether...

This article presents alternative estimates for the demand for UN and non-UN peacekeeping. Generally, three-way fixed-effects models, which account for the country, year, and conflict region, provide the best estimates. The demand for UN peacekeeping is primarily influenced by the contributions...
