This volume re-examines the evidence surrounding the rise and
fall of peacekeeping policy during the first Clinton
Administration. Specifically, it asks: what happened to cause the
Clinton Executive to abandon its previously favoured policy
platform of humanitarian multilateralism?
Clinton, Peacekeeping and Humanitarian Interventionism aims to
satisfy a large gap in our understanding of events surrounding
1990s peacekeeping policy, humanitarian intervention and the
Rwandan genocide, as well as shedding some light on US policy on
Africa, and the issues surrounding the current peacekeeping
debate.
Leonie Murray takes an unorthodox stance with regard to the role
of public opinion on peacekeeping policy, and delves deeper into
the roles that the legislature, the military, and in particular,
the executive had to play in the development of US peacekeeping
policy in the 1990s. The conclusions reached concerning the role of
the United States and the International Community in the face of
the Rwandan Genocide are of particular note in their departure from
the accepted wisdom on the subject.
This book will be of interest to students of peacekeeping,
international relations, US foreign policy and humanitarian
intervention.
