NATO, an organisation brought together to function as an
anti-communist alliance, faced existential questions after the
unexpected collapse of the USSR at the beginning of the 1990s.
Intervention in the conflict in Bosnia between 1992 and 1995 gave
it a renewed sense of purpose and a redefining of its core mission.
Abe argues that an impetus for this change was the norm dilemma
that the conflict in Bosnia represented. On the one hand a state
which oversaw the massacre of its civilians was in breach of
international norms, but on the other hand intervention by outside
states would breach the norms of sovereign integrity and non-use of
force. NATO, as an international governance organisation, thus
became a vehicle for avoiding this kind of dilemma. A detailed case
study of NATO during the Bosnian war, this book explores how the
differing views and preferences among the Western states on the
intervention in Bosnia were reconciled as they agreed on the
outline of NATO's reform. It examines detailed decision-making
processes in Britain, France, Germany and the USA. In particular
Abe analyses why conflicting norms led to an emphasis on conflict
prevention capacity, rather than simply on armed intervention
capacity.
