Mass media, particularly UN peacekeeping radio broadcasts, is a cost-effective and easily implemented method for addressing barriers to conflict resolution. Analysis of battle-related deaths in UN peacekeeping missions shows that peaceful UN radio broadcasts are associated with decreased conflict intensity.
Commitment problems and information asymmetries represent key impediments to peacekeeping. We posit that mass media-more specifically, United Nations (UN) peacekeeping radio broadcasts-is a cost-effective, easily implemented method of addressing common roadblocks to conflict resolution. We analyze monthly battle-related deaths across 51 UN peacekeeping missions during the years 1992-2014. Using negative binomial models with two-way fixed effects, we find that peaceful UN radio broadcasts are associated with decreased conflict intensity. We argue that radio-based, mass communication is particularly effective owing to the socio-economic conditions within conflict zones; these properties include severe under-development and lack of access to modern technology.
