This article takes stock of some of the important contributions to the study of peacekeeping (PK). Two key topics stand out: peacekeeping burden sharing and mission effectiveness. For burden sharing, the theoretical foundation is the private provision of public goods and joint products. Implications for burden sharing differ whether financial or troop contributions are being shared, with the latter driven by jointly produced country-specific benefits. Financial burden sharing can also differ between United Nations (UN)-led and non-UN-led peacekeeping operations, wherein country-specific benefits are especially important for the latter. Many articles gauge peacekeeping effectiveness by the mission's ability to maintain the peace or to protect lives for a set time period. More recently, multiple criteria are raised for evaluating peacekeeping in today's world of multifaceted peacebuilding operations.
本文总结了维和研究中的一些重要贡献。两个关键主题尤为突出：维和负担分担与任务成效。对于负担分担而言，理论基础是公共物品和联合产品的私人供给。在分担财政负担还是部队负担方面，负担分担的影响有所不同，后者由共同产生的国别利益驱动。在联合国主导和非联合国主导的维和行动中，财政负担分担也可能不同，其中国别利益对后者尤为重要。许多文章通过特派团在一段特定时间内维持和平或保护生命的能力来衡量维和成效。最近，在当今多层面建设和平行动的背景下，人们提出了多个评估维和行动的标准。
