This thesis examines the effects of various military planning and target-state variables to determine what influences democratic change within a target state undergoing a United Nations military intervention. The variables found to be significant are further explored and refined in a case study of the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH). Then, these refined indicators are tested in a comparative case study of the United Nations Interim Mission in Lebanon (UNIFIL) and the United Nations Mission in Sudan (UNMIS). Ultimately, it is found that the desire and motivation of contributing states and that the deployments of UN troops in highly populated areas were the chief contributing factors to the success of a mission.
