War, as Clausewitz reminds, is the most uncertain of human
political and social activities. It also imposes burdens. In an
alliance among states for the promotion of collective defense or
security, such as the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO),
burdens have to be shared. This study looks at the experience of
the United States and other member states of NATO in four
situations of multinational military intervention - Lebanon, the
Persian Gulf, the Balkans, and South Asia - and considers the
implications of nuclear arms reductions and nonproliferation for
the US and NATO. Each case study represents an important period in
the distribution of power, interest, and values, amounting to more
than a sequential consideration of incidents of military
intervention and/or conflict prevention. These politico-military
challenges include a major coalition war, a traditional
peacekeeping operation, an exercise in peace enforcement, and a
conflict that combines counter-insurgency and counter-terrorism
with stability and security operations.
