Tracing the transformation of NATO in the aftermath of the Cold
War, this volume assesses NATO's current accomplishments,
continuing challenges and political pitfalls. International
scholars and policy-makers explore three key themes influencing
NATO's future: transatlantic relations, the debate over enlargement
and the organization's new functions. Weighing the fate of an
alliance poised for renewal or decline, the contributors offer
analysis and discussion of an organization that has changed
profoundly over the past five years and continues to evolve in the
face of an uncertain global environment.
This paper attempts to catalogue and describe the known models for
interagency cooperation for stabilization and reconstruction
(S&R) operations. The models in existence and under discussion
can be grouped in terms of their focus on different aspects of the
interagency process, as well as on different aspects of S&R. We
recognize that S&R operations take place in an international
arena, hence have limited the focus of this paper on models that
address how the United States Government (USG) should achieve unity
of effort. Defining an efficient, commonly understood model to
guide USG actions is a necessary first step to coordinating S&R
operations with other international, national, and non-governmental
actors.
In a previous study on technology for stabilization and
reconstructions operations, hereafter SRO(I), the authors1
evaluated current stabilization and reconstruction (S&R)
operations requirements and identified for Dr. Tom Killion, the
Army Science and Technology (S&T) Executive, areas in which
Army capabilities could be improved with advanced technologies.
Stabilization and reconstruction operations establish, retain, and
exploit security and control over areas, populations, and resources
to employ military capabilities to restore essential services and
facilitate the reestablishment of civil order and authority.2 They
involve both coercive and cooperative actions and occur before,
during, and after offensive and defensive operations.
The six-nation Contact Group on Kosovo, lead by former Finish
President Martti Ahtisaari, is now engaged in discussions about the
future status of Kosovo. If the Contact Group's current guidelines
are followed, Kosovo may become an independent country with no
formal partitions. Under those circumstances, the treatment of the
Serb minority in Kosovo (which currently makes up about 5-7 percent
of the population) will be a critical issue in the negotiations.
The largest concentration of those Serbs is north of the Ibar
River, in and around the city of Mitrovica.
