This book examines the relationship of local conflict to
international security and considers the dilemma of providing
security to small states without compromising their independence.
It assesses the extent to which local wars tend to escalate and
threaten the global security system.
Since World War II, the international community has tried to
insulate, limit, and resolve local conflicts. The generally poor
success record has led some to conclude that multilateral
organizations have failed in dealing with international conflicts,
while others have argued that governments have not used these
organizations effectively. Not enough thought, however, has been
given to the contributions that can be made to conflict management
and resolution through the use of diplomatic, political, military,
and economic intervention by multilateral organizations, by
unilateral action of national states, and by efforts of states
acting in informal concert. This book evaluates the means that have
been used to influence the course of six recent disputes,
considering the costs and benefits in each case. In a broader
context, it examines the relationship of local conflict to
international security and considers the dilemma of providing
security to small states without compromising their independence.
Finally, it assesses the extent to which local wars tend to
escalate and threaten the global security system.
