Article Analysis on International PeaceBuilding

Data collection procedures included the gathering of statistics related to the variables. The data set included all civil wars since 1944 that ended by 1997. This allowed peacebuilding outcomes of at least two years following the end of wars to be included in the analysis. Civil war was defined as "an armed conflict that meets all the following conditions: causes more than 1,000 deaths overall and in at least a single year; challenges the sovereignty of an internationally recognized state; occurs with the recognized boundary of that state; involves the state as a principal combatant; includes rebels with the ability to mount organized armed opposition to the state; and has parties concerned with the prospect of living together in the same political unit after the end of the war" (p. 784). This definition allowed for data from several sets that combined wars, which provided a large and representative sampl

hypotheses for this study, each referred to the probability of peacebuilding related to the variables measured: Hypothesis 1 stated that the probability of peacebuilding success should be lower in identity wars (race, religion); Hypothesis 2 stated that the probability of peacebuilding success should be lower, the greater are human costs of the war (deaths and displacements); Hypothesis 3 stated that, partly in contradiction to the above, the probability of peacebuilding success is higher the longer the war; Hypothesis 4 stated that the probability of peacebuilding success should be lower when the number of factions is higher; Hypothesis 5 stated that the probability of peacebuilding success decreases with an increase in ethnic heterogeneity; Hypothesis 6 stated that the probability of peacebuilding success is higher, the higher are per-capita income and overall level of economic development; Hypothesis 7 stated that, a related hypothesis is that the risk of new war-the probability of peacebuilding failure should be higher in very resource-dependent countries; Hypothesis 8 stated that the probability of peacebuilding success is higher when the war ends with a peace treaty; Hypothesis 9 stated that the probability of peacebuilding
