The resurgence of regional instability is an apparent manifestation
of the post Cold-War era. Unlike during the Cold War period most of
the instability is intra-state vice inter-state conflict in the
post-Cold War period. Regional instability manifests itself in a
wide range of behaviors: from small border disputes to ethnic
conflict to violent acts of terrorism, and in some cases, wars for
independence. The war in Kosovo is a case study of how devastating
post-Cold War regional instability can be and how humanitarian
crisis can lead to state sovereignty challenges and the
introduction of force to resolve abusive human rights violations
from dictatorial regimes. It also reveals the struggle in
formulating policy around the issue of sovereignty and internal
abuse of that sovereignty. Because of the rapid rise in regional
instability, a cohesive mechanism is needed that helps prevent and
resolve such crisis. The thesis this paper will explore the
political and military dimensions of the Kosovo conflict. While
NATO did secure a victory in Kosovo, victory was achieved largely
by accident more than by design. It was highlighted by failed
international agreements, diplomatic miscalculation, reluctant
militaries, and constrained by local politics, both in Washington
and across the Atlantic with our European allies.
