Toward Responsibility in the New World Disorder: Challenges and Lessons of Peace Operations / Edition 1

by John T. Fishel, Max G. Manwaring

Overview

This volume commends itself to the reader to provoke thought about what governments and international organizations ought to do when faced with the responsibilities of a given peace operation. Equally important, it suggests what we as citizens in the world community ought to demand of our governments and that community in the current world disorder.

The intent is to help decision-makers, policy makers, opinion-makers and students understand the nature of the problem that is likely to provide the greatest challenge to international security management into the next century.

Editorial Reviews

Inspired by the perception that the main reason for the spectacular failure of the various civil-military peacekeeping operations since the cold war is the unwillingness of the major participants and the international community to accept responsibility for the long-term outcomes of the interventions the undertake. Begins with a long interview with retired US General John R. Galvin, who had extensive experience in Europe and Central America. Then analyzes four case studies and explores a range of general topics such as a doctrine for complex emergencies and gaps in public security during operations. Distributed in the US by ISBS.
