Addressing the Perils of Peace Operations: Toward a Global Peacekeeping System
OVER THE PAST TWO DECADES, WE HAVE SEEN CONSIDERABLE PROGRESS made in international conflict management, peacekeeping, and peacebuilding. The end of the Cold War has led to the obsolescence of between major powers, and globalization has increased the interconnectedness and interdependence among people, societies, and countries. However, the longevity and large-scale nature of armed conflicts in Afghanistan, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC),…
Refugee manipulation: War, Politics, and the Abuse of Human Suffering
Since World War II, refugee organizations have faced a recurrent challenge: the manipulation of refugees by warring parties to further their own aims. Some armies in civil wars, facing military defeat, use refugees as assets to establish the international legitimacy of their cause, treat refugee camps as sanctuaries and recruitment pools, and limit access to refugees to ensure that they will not repatriate. Focusing on the geopolitical security e…
Conflict prevention and conflict resolution: Limits of multilateralism
Au cours des années 90, l'intérêt de la recherche et de la pratique sʼest tourné vers la prévention de conflits, cʼest-à-dire toute activité tendant à gérer ou à résoudre des situations conflictuelles avant quʼelles ne dégénèrent en affrontement ouvert et violent. Cet article examine les possibilités et les chances de succès d'actions de prévention entreprises, soit par un État, soit dans un contexte multilatéral. L'expérience des dernières année…
Arms control, civil war and peace settlements
Arms control has undoubtedly a role to play in conflict resolution. It can enhance stability through deterrence in the case of settlements based on partition, or it can support the military transformation process for national reconciliation. The problem with arms control in conflict resolution is that there neither exists conceptual clarity‐especially in relation to classical arms control‐nor has norm‐building in this area been very successful. M…

An emerging security agenda for the Mediterranean
The Mediterranean region is one of the world's most conflict‐prone regions and has, as a result, been subject to a large number of initiatives designed to reduce its conflict potential, including the multilateral track of the Middle East peace process, the Mediterranean Forum, the Barcelona Process and the Dayton Peace Agreement. The introduction of the Euro‐Mediterranean Partnership Initiative provides an opportunity for an integrated initiative…
Weapons control in semi‐permissive environments: A case for compellence
The use of limited force by peace support units to achieve weapons control in semi‐permissive environments is justified in light of the fact that the derailment of the weapons control process clearly jeopardizes the peace process as a whole: a country awash with arms inhibits national reconciliation, militarizes society and destabilizes the region. Compellence offers an alternative to the passivity and consternation of peace support forces faced …
Postwar Arms Control
This article examines the intersection between war termination and arms control leading to postwar arms control. The following two questions are explored: To what extent do war outcomes condition postwar arms control? Do arms arrangements that emerge from armed conflicts improve the postwar order in the long term? The article establishes a typology of war outcomes in function of their effects on arms control. Most armed conflicts do not create co…
