Military Theory and Peace Enforcement Operations

Abstract

As suggested above by Secretary of Defense Les Aspin, there is a very real uncertainty surrounding the ongoing debate over methods to resolve a growing number of internal conflicts that plague our world. It permeates all levels of America's policy-making elite. Statements made with a similar flavor have been delivered by several key administration spokesmen, including President Clinton himself. The situation is too new and the conditions are changing too rapidly. Right now there simply are no answers. What we have seen so far during the Clinton administration is an effort at damage control as crises crash in upon decision makers. Little time has been available to step back from the problem and attempt to develop some sort of theoretical mechanism that could put order into the world community's efforts to stem the tide of violence and war.
