The U.S.-led intervention in Somalia that began in December 1992 is
the most significant instance to date of "peacemaking" by the
international community. The heady promise of Operation Restore
Hope and the subsequent disappointments have had a resounding
impact on the policies of Western governments and the UN as they
have tried to cope with humanitarian emergencies in Rwanda, Bosnia,
and elsewhere. However, it is questionable how correct the lessons
so quickly derived from the Somalia experience actually were. At
the same time, many important organizational and operational
innovations during the Somalia exercise have not received
sufficient attention. Learning from Somalia is therefore critical
if the international community is to respond better to tragedies
that threaten millions of human lives.Contributors to this book,
many of whom are policymakers who were either in Mogadishu or
Washington during the relief missions, examine the intervention in
Somalia and draw lessons for future peacekeeping operations. They
analyze many aspects of peacemaking that are not well understood,
including efforts to rebuild the police force, the dynamics of the
economy, the relationship between the military and nongovernmental
organizations, and the performance of European armies. The book
also discusses international politics surrounding the crisis,
especially the relationship between the United States and the UN
and the legal justifications for intervention. The concluding
chapters discuss the prospects for intervention efforts in light of
the Somalia experience.
