Book synopsis

The end of the Cold War opened the political and military leeway for crisis-managementand conflict-prevention strategies in humanitarian terms, controversially referred to as humanitarian intervention. Once present in a country, intervention forces started to increasingly overtake civilian humanitarian tasks, something considered to be the sine-qua-non for sustainingcease-fires and for building and enduring peace in conflict environments. The book argues that this steadily developing phenomena during the 1990s has however only been a shortpost-modern intermezzo. In the interventions after 9/11 in Afghanistan and Iraq, one can witness a strong negative impact on the cohesiveness of this relationship. Building on the ongoing controversial debate among the actors involved and based on asystematic theoretical approach, Christian Huber sees the reasons for the negative impact to be found in changing conflict scenarios, changing norms and policies in the international system, as much as changing norms, structures and functions of the actors on the theatre-level. Combining academics and practical experience, the book is directed at scholars and practitioners likewise.
