Description

s/t: New Challenges & New Response
With the end of the Cold War, the USA faces the challenge of new & more complicated military interventions. In today's smaller scale ethnic & intranational disputes, USA forces must play more of a peacekeeper role than deliver massive firepower. How will the military adapt forces & strategies to the new environment? What new techniques are available for enforcing economic sanctions? What nonlethal & less lethal technologies can be used or developed instead of force? In this collection of original essays, sponsored by the American Assembly, some leading American military policy experts examine these questions, paying special attention to recent trouble spots, such as Bosnia, Somalia, Haiti & the former USSR. They offer a framework for evaluating a decision whether or not to intervene.
