The nature of armed conflict has changed in recent decades. This presents new challenges for the prevention of violence, the promotion of disarmament and the securing of durable peace. The essays in this book address important aspects related to these challenges, with references to the work of prominent German peace researcher Herbert Wulf. Topics covered include demilitarization, small arms control, security sector reform, post-conflict construction, peace-building in failed states and, as guiding theme, the limits and possibilities of security governance.

"This volume analyzes the impediments that local conditions pose to successful outcomes of nation-building interventions in conflict-affected areas. Previous RAND studies of nation-building focused on external interveners' activities. This volume shifts the focus to internal circumstances, first identifying the conditions that gave rise to conflicts or threatened to perpetuate them, and then determining how external and local actors were able to modify or work around them to promote enduring peace. It examines in depth six varied societies: Cambodia, El Salvador, Bosnia and Herzegovina, East Timor, Sierra Leone, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It then analyzes a larger set of 20 major post-Cold War nation-building interventions. The authors assess the risk of renewed conflict at the onset of the interventions and subsequent progress along five dimensions: security, democratization, government effectiveness, economic growth, and human development. They find that transformation of many of the specific conditions that gave rise to or fueled conflict often is not feasible in the time frame of nation-building operations but that such transformation has not proven essential to achieving the primary goal of nation-building -- establishing peace. Most interventions in the past 25 years have led to enduring peace, as well as some degree of improvement in the other dimensions assessed. The findings suggest the importance of setting realistic expectations -- neither expecting nation-building operations to quickly lift countries out of poverty and create liberal democracies, nor being swayed by a negative stereotype of nation-building that does not recognize its signal achievements in the great majority of cases."--Page 4 of cover.

Guerilla warfare, with its blend of clandestine tactics, unconventional strategies, and relentless determination, has long captivated the imagination of military strategists, historians, and the public alike. This form of warfare, characterized by its asymmetry and adaptability, challenges conventional military doctrines and forces, often extending conflicts far beyond traditional battlegrounds. In this book, we delve into the multifaceted world of guerilla warfare, exploring its historical roots, ideological underpinnings, strategic dynamics, and enduring impact on global conflicts. From ancient skirmishes in distant lands to modern insurgencies shaping geopolitical landscapes, guerilla warfare has left an indelible mark on history, influencing the rise and fall of empires, the struggle for independence, and the quest for social justice. Through a comprehensive examination of case studies, tactical analysis, and geopolitical implications, we seek to unravel the complexities of guerilla warfare. We explore the motivations driving insurgents to take up arms, the strategies they employ to evade superior forces, and the international dimensions that shape their success or failure. Moreover, we examine the humanitarian costs of guerilla conflicts, considering the plight of civilians caught in the crossfire and the challenges of rebuilding shattered communities. This book is not merely a recounting of battles and tactics; it is a critical exploration of the human dimensions of conflict—of bravery and sacrifice, of suffering and resilience. It aims to provide insights into the strategies and dilemmas faced by both guerilla fighters and the forces arrayed against them, offering perspectives that challenge conventional wisdom and provoke deeper reflection. As we navigate the intricate landscapes of guerilla warfare, we invite readers to engage critically with the complexities of insurgency, to question assumptions, and to explore the profound moral, ethical, and strategic issues that arise in the pursuit of victory and peace amidst the chaos of conflict. Ultimately, our goal is to contribute to a deeper understanding of guerilla warfare—not just as a military strategy, but as a phenomenon that shapes societies, redefines borders, and reshapes the course of history. We embark on this journey with a sense of humility, recognizing that the study of guerilla warfare is as much about learning from the past as it is about preparing for the future. Through diligent research, thoughtful analysis, and a commitment to truth-seeking, we aim to shed light on this enduring and enigmatic form of warfare. Join us as we explore the shadowy realms of guerilla warfare, where courage meets cunning, and where the quest for justice collides with the harsh realities of conflict. This preface sets the stage for a comprehensive exploration of guerilla warfare, emphasizing its historical significance, strategic complexities, and human dimensions. It invites readers to delve into a nuanced understanding of insurgency and its broader implications for global security and peace.

A bold new look at war and diplomacy in Europe that traces the idea of a unified continent in attempts since the eighteenth century to engineer lasting peace. Political peace in Europe has historically been elusive and ephemeral. Stella Ghervas shows that since the eighteenth century, European thinkers and leaders in pursuit of lasting peace fostered the idea of European unification. Bridging intellectual and political history, Ghervas draws on the work of philosophers from Abbé de Saint-Pierre, who wrote an early eighteenth-century plan for perpetual peace, to Rousseau and Kant, as well as statesmen such as Tsar Alexander I, Woodrow Wilson, Winston Churchill, Robert Schuman, and Mikhail Gorbachev. She locates five major conflicts since 1700 that spurred such visionaries to promote systems of peace in Europe: the War of the Spanish Succession, the Napoleonic Wars, World War I, World War II, and the Cold War. Each moment generated a “spirit” of peace among monarchs, diplomats, democratic leaders, and ordinary citizens. The engineers of peace progressively constructed mechanisms and institutions designed to prevent future wars. Arguing for continuities from the ideals of the Enlightenment, through the nineteenth-century Concert of Nations, to the institutions of the European Union and beyond, Conquering Peace illustrates how peace as a value shaped the idea of a unified Europe long before the EU came into being. Today the EU is widely criticized as an obstacle to sovereignty and for its democratic deficit. Seen in the long-range perspective of the history of peacemaking, however, this European society of states emerges as something else entirely: a step in the quest for a less violent world.

The 20th century was influenced profoundly by the experience of two world wars. It was also characterized, however, by the attempt to replace armed conflict with non-violent conflict management. As the United Nations Charter preamble declares: The “People of the United Nations are determined to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war.” International law and international institutions have made considerable progress toward this goal, but the world is still a long way from effectively banning major organized violence between or within states. Current governance theories are grappling with the reality of today's complex international relations. What lessons do these theories hold for overcoming violent conflict? What do theories about global governance tell us about international public authority? Is such an authority desirable at all? What would the ideal international society look like from the perspective of global governance theory? What is the role of law, authority, and international institutions in realizing the ideal? The aim of this book is to offer an interdisciplinary debate on these normative responses to the problem of war: law, authority, governance, and constitution.
