Förlagets beskrivning
The conflict in Kosovo represents a significant watershed in post-Cold War
international security. Interpreting its political and operational significance
should reveal important clues for understanding international security in the
new millennium. This text analyses the international response to the crisis in
Kosovo and its broader implications, by examining its diplomatic, military and
humanitarian features. Despite the widely held perception that the conflict in
Kosovo has implications for international security, unravelling them can be
challenging as it remains an event replete with paradoxes. There are many such paradoxes - NATO entered into the conflict ostensibly
to head off a humanitarian catastrophe, only to accelerate the catastrophe by
engaging in a bombing campaign; the political aims of all the major players
contradicted the the military means chosen by them in the conflict. The Russian
role in the diplomatic efforts demonstrated that NATO did not want Russia to be
involved but in the end needed her involvement. Russia opposed the bombing
campaign but ultimately did not have enough power or influence to rise above a
role as NATO's messenger; the doctrinal hurdles to achieving "immaculate
coercion" by use of air power alone seemed to tumble in the face of apparent
success; it is ultimately unclear how or why NATO succeeded. This text analyses the international response to the crisis in Kosovo and
its broader implications, by examining its diplomatic, military and
humanitarian features. It aims to meet the need for a serious study of the
implications of the conflict on wider European security issues and
institutions.
