Introduced by the United Nations, peacekeeping aimed to decrease unrest and hostilities in the hopes that external assistance would contribute to longer-lasting peace, political stability and economic growth. These attempts were, nevertheless, put on hold for the most part during the Cold War but re-commenced soon afterwards. States first initiated unilateral missions and took on all the financing responsibilities, personnel contributions, and logistical support. However, an increase in conflict situations in Africa and Asia required more external assistance as the United Nations could not attend to the conflict situations independently. Global parties were, however, unable to deploy the necessary troops and thus approached regional bodies to assist with the deployment of peacekeeping troops. The hybridisation process, therefore, commenced as international and regional organisations grouped their resources to ensure that most conflict situations are attended to. There is currently a vast array of literature on peacekeeping operations throughout Africa, but it provides broad definitions and explanations regarding what hybrid peacekeeping attempts include. This is understandable, considering hybrid missions are relatively new compared to traditional peacekeeping missions. Scholars have, moreover, primarily focused on how peacekeeping deployments are pursued; hence, the literature has not provided adequate insight into why hybrid missions have had different outcomes. This study, therefore, seeks to address this gap in the literature. It compares the peacekeeping attempts undertaken in Liberia, Somalia, Sudan and the Ivory Coast. The study, moreover, identifies three distinct variables that can affect the outcomes of a hybrid mission: financial availability, resource sufficiency, and intervenor relations by referring to relative peace and security, economic growth, as well as political and social stability in the aftermath of peacekeeping attempts. This study concludes that the inadequate presence of all variables often results in ineffective outcomes. On the contrary, if all variables are sufficient, hybrid peacekeeping missions have a higher probability of reaping successful results. This study, therefore, aims to contribute to the available literature by analysing the possibilities that might affect the effectiveness of the newer peacekeeping model.
