요약 | The decisions that led to the nation-building efforts of the post-Cold War world resulted from both the end of the bipolar global environment and the 9/11 attacks caused by terrorists provided refuge in states without effective governance. At the same time, the United States also has a historical thread of trying to build better societies for the benefit of all. At times, the noble cause of providing reconstruction or humanitarian assistance has proven to be a shining light that the United States has shown to the world; the decisions taken in the hours and days following the devastating December 26, 2004 tsunami did much to raise the view of the United States in a world that had become skeptical as a result of the war in Iraq over the two prior years. Sadly, the November 1992 decision to provide food and humanitarian aid, which lead to taking sides in the clan warfare characterizing Somalia, proved heartbreaking for the nation as it watched U.S. Army personnel dragged through the streets of the capital city of Mogadishu on October 3rd of the following year. This volume considers the decisions taken around these actions over the past two plus decades. We now use the terms stability operations, security operations, reconstruction operations, and transition operations (SSRTOs) to describe these different goals more accurately. The volume establishes the primary documents, speeches, and other products of the policy-making community, and then provides analysis of what was occurring and the significance of the individual decisions. It also highlights the personnel and tries to shed light on their motivations, concerns, and the ramifications. This volume concludes with a descriptive list of resources in the field of stability, security, reconstruction, and transition operations. |
