Replication Data for: MILINDA: A new dataset on United Nations-led and non-united Nations-led peace operations

The MILINDA dataset encompasses all military and non-military peace operations between 1947 and 2016 explicitly designated as peace operations. Peace operations are the expeditionary use of uniformed personnel with or without a UN mandate, but with an explicit mandate to assist in the prevention of armed conflict by supporting a peace process. It includes not only UN missions but also a substantial number of missions conducted by ad hoc coalitions of states or individual state not included in the UN or SIPRI’s database. The MILINDA dataset contains 293 observations altogether. The unit of analysis is the mission. If a mission changes its category—for example, from an Observer to a Peacekeeping operation—we coded this as a new observation. MILINDA codes four types of interventions, denoting the distribution of responsibilities among the various actors, which we defined in line with the international legal literature: Peace Enforcement, Peacekeeping, Observer, and Other.
