Leashing the Dogs of War replaces its well-established predecessor (Turbulent Peace, published in 2001) as the definitive volume on the sources of contemporary conflict and the array of possible responses to it. The authors--more than forty of the most influential and innovative analysts of international affairs--present multiple perspectives on how best to prevent, manage, or resolve conflicts around the world. Leashing the Dogs of War assesses the nature and extent of the changes wrought by 9/11 and its aftermath, and explores their wide-ranging implications.
Failed states, economic stagnation, weapons proliferation, nuclear missiles, and identity-based conflicts continue to threaten global security. Looking at the combination of old and new threats, are traditional instruments of negotiation, mediation, peacekeeping and peace enforcement still effective in managing and resolving conflict? How do conflict management efforts and the campaign against terrorism interact in various security environments? Are our institutions--be they states, coalitions of the willing, international organizations, or NGOs--capable of creating and implementing a peacemaking strategy? All these questions are addressed in this new volume. Authoritative, provocative, and insightful, Leashing the Dogs of War offers an unparalleled breadth and depth of analysis of conflict in today's world. It is a "must read" not only for students of international relations and conflict resolution but also for anyone--in government and outside--seeking to understand the dynamics of contemporary conflict and the best means of resolving it.
Leashing the Dogs of War. Conflict Management in a Divided World, edited by Chester A. Crocker, Fen Osler Hampson & Pamela R. Aall (United States Institute of Peace Press, 2007).
