This open access book focuses on the origins, consequences and aftermath of the 1995 and 1999 Western military interventions that led to the end of the most recent Balkan wars. Though challenging problems remain in Bosnia, Macedonia, Kosovo, and Serbia, the conflict prevention and state-building efforts thereafter were partly successful as countries of the region are on separate tracks towards European Union membership. This study highlights lessons that can be applied to the Middle East and Ukraine, where similar conflicts are likewise challenging sovereignty and territorial integrity. It is an accessible treatment of what makes war and how to make peace ideal for all readers interested in how violent international conflicts can be managed, informed by the experience of a practitioner.

Iraq is still in search of internal equilibrium and its proper international role after the trauma of more than thirty years of Saddam Hussein's dictatorship and eight years of American military occupation' .

'Success' in Baghdad may include a Shiite-dominated government relatively friendly to Tehran, an outcome that the Americans are still trying to avoid but that they may ultimately have to accept.

Les risques de se méprendre sur le monde sont beaucoup plus nombreux que les chances de le comprendre. À cet égard, la liste des erreurs commises de part et d'autre, de George W. Bush à Jacques Chirac en passant par Saddam Hussein, est longue. Mais aujourd'hui, la question n'est plus de savoir s'il était légitime ou non d'intervenir en Irak. On ne peut revenir en arrière, de même qu'on ne peut nier que le renversement du régime de S. Hussein ait constitué une réelle avancée. La question qui se pose donc est de savoir si nous réussirons à finir le travail, reconstruire l'Irak, le démocratiser dans la mesure du possible, assurer de meilleures conditions de vie au peuple irakien et empêcher le terrorisme d'en faire sa prochaine terre d'asile.
