This book seeks to bridge the gap between academic, political and
military thinking concerning the success and failure of
peacekeeping operations and their termination. Exit strategies have
recently gained attention in political, military, academic and
public debates, due to the Western engagement in international and
intrastate conflicts since the end of the Cold War. Yet, many of
those debates took place separately. This volume, which is
predominantly a joint product of academics and the military of the
Faculty of Military Sciences of the Netherlands Defence Academy,
shows new venues by bridging the putative political-military
divide. Drawing on theory, empirics, and personal experiences the
authors address exits at political, strategic, operational and
tactical levels of current and past military missions and
interventions, ranging from decolonisation wars to Afghanistan and
Iraq. Although some of those conflicts are still ongoing, valid
inferences can be drawn. An important one is that exit forms a
problem for those who leave and for those who stay. While political
and military objectives might not have been reached and many of
those involved have the feeling that the job is still not yet done,
the termination of the entire mission or transitions at operational
level necessitate both departures and handovers-takeovers and are
thereby characterised by discontinuities and continuities at the
same time. It is these dynamics between unfulfilled end states and
end dates that, in the end, lead to the dilemma of leaving. All the
editors, except van den Wollenberg, are affiliated with the Faculty
of Military Sciences of the Netherlands Defence Academy in Breda,
the Netherlands. Joerg Noll is Associate Professor of International
Conflict Studies. First Lieutenant Air-Commodore Frans Osinga is
Professor of Military Operational Art and Sciences. Georg Frerks is
Professor International Security Studies and Irene van Kemenade
runs the Research Office of the Faculty. Daan van den Wollenberg is
Commander of a mechanized artillery platoon of the Netherlands
armed forces.
