This book examines the concept of legitimacy as it may be used to
explain the success, or failure, of key stability operations since
the end of the Cold War. In the success of stability operations,
legitimacy is key. In order to achieve success, the intervening
force must create a sense of legitimacy of the mission among the
various constituencies concerned with and involved in the venture.
These parties include the people of the host nation, the host
government (whose relations with the local people must be
legitimate), political elites and the general public
worldwide-including the intervening parties' own domestic
constituencies, who will sustain (or not sustain) the intervention
by offering (or withdrawing) support. This book seeks to bring into
close scrutiny the legitimacy of stability interventions in the
post-Cold War era, by proposing a concept that captures both the
multi-faceted nature of legitimacy and the process of legitimation
that takes place in each case. Case studies on Liberia, Bosnia,
Somalia, Rwanda, Afghanistan and Iraq explain how legitimacy
related to the outcome of these operations. This book will be of
much interest to students of stability operations,
counterinsurgency, peace operations, humanitarian intervention, and
IR/security studies in general.
