      abstract = {Authors commonly categorize peace missions according to  different generations: first-generation missions serving as  interposition forces to monitor a cease-fire,  second-generation missions with multidimensional mandates,  and third-generation missions with enforcement mandates.  While the generation typology is useful to show the  development of peace missions over time, this article  points to four main limitations: ambiguity, reductionism,  linear connotations, and restricted applicability. It  proposes an alternative categorization distinguishing  between a minimalist approach aiming at ending violence, a  moderate approach aiming at ending violence and installing  some form of good governance, and a maximalist approach  aiming at addressing the root causes of conflict. Based on  an analysis of all UN peace missions between 1991 and 2020,  the article demonstrates how this new classification  overcomes the flaws of the generation typology and presents  further advantages related to its focus on objectives, its  versatility, and its potential for statistical analysis. It  thereby allows for a more accurate analysis of UN peace  missions and their effectiveness.},
