Abstract:

<p>The dataset deposited here underpins a PhD thesis sucessfully defended by Stian Kjeksrud on June 6, 2019, at the University of Oslo, Faculty of Social Sciences, Department of Political Science.</p> <p>This dataset consists of two data files, each in its original excel-file format as well as in a Unicode-text format:</p> <p>1. UN_POC_Operations_UNPOCO_2019-01-25</p> <p>This file (United Nations Protection of Civilians Operations (UNPOCO)) captures and codes the core empirical characteristics of 200 UN military operations to protect civilians from violence in African conflicts between 1999 and 2017.</p> <p>2. UN_POC_Operations_UNPOCO_fsQCA_2019-01-25</p> <p>This file (UNPOCO fsQCA) builds directly on the UNPOCO dataset, but consists of a sub-set of 126 cases tailored to fuzzy set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA), and therefore includes a QCA-matrix and some additional information for each case.</p> <p>Both data files are built by Stian Kjeksrud to support the analysis of variations in outcomes of operations and to explore success factors of UN military protection operations across time and UN missions.</p> <p>The data are captured from the United Nations Secretary-General’s openly available reporting to the United Nations Security Council.</p>
