An Effective Framework for Stabilization and Reconstruction: Kosovo Or Iraq?

Abstract

This paper examines the North Atlantic Treaty Organization's (NATO) post-hostility stabilization effort in Kosovo and its relevance to the stabilization effort facing the U.S. led coalition in Iraq. It explores the socio-political aspects of Kosovo and Iraq that must be accounted for in the reconstruction, the strengths and weaknesses of the structure of the peacekeeping force in Kosovo, and some factors that should be considered by USCENTCOM's interim reconstruction effort in Iraq.
