It's been a pleasure presenting our book "United Nations Peacekeeping and the Politics of Authoritarianism" co-authored with @birtegippert.bsky.social, @oisintansey.bsky.social and Sarah von Billerbeck (@uor-research.bsky.social) to colleagues from Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office/HMG!

We've provided a snapshot of the link between mandated tasks and budgeted posts, finding an imperfect and subject-dependent correlation.

We hope the data will be useful to all colleagues studying UN peacekeeping + IO administrative politics!
