Abstract: This paper on the economic analysis of a peacekeeping mission used the United Nations Mission in Haiti (UNMIH) as a case study and covered the period August 1995 to February 1996 inclusive. Given the fact that a peace mission is a complex process that requires the agreementof the Security Council at the UN, the consent of the host country (if a functioning state exists),the troop contributing countries and the internal UN bureaucracy, the paper divides the mission into three time phases for a more structured review. The three time phases include: the pre-deployment phase, where issues such as the budgeting process and troop size and allocation are discussed; the deployment phase, where themain concerns from an economic perspectives are the economic consequences of the mission onthe host country and the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of the mission; and the post deployment phase where economic development issues as well as post-conflict strategies are themain concern.
