Argues that military intervention, preferably authorized by the UN Security Council, is justified when domestic turmoil threatens regional or international security; reviews national and international strategies that have been used to support or prevent it.
The role of foreign military intervention in African states has been a pervasive theme in the continent's political history since independence. The author of this book has followed these conflicts and has pieced together the complex chain of events that has involved the Soviet Union, Cuba, Libya, France and South Africa in domestic and interstate wars in Angola, Ethiopia, Chad, Mozambique, Somalia and elsewhere. He disentangles a complex skein of history, political ideology and ethnic conflict, to discern why African states invite intervention, why foreign states intervene and what their actions mean for the present and future stability and security of the continent

Since the demise of the Soviet Union in 1991, Russia has tried to restore its lost status, prestige, and influence in the global political arena. At the same time, internal political challenges and international events - such as the Arab Spring and the colour revolutions in former Soviet republics - have threatened the security and the national interests of the country. Taking these challenges and opportunities into account, The Russian Military Intervention in Syria examines Russia's assertive foreign policy and its attempts to protect its geostrategic interests in the Middle East and former Soviet territory. Ohannes Geukjian analyzes the history of Russian military presence in the Middle East and the country's growing frustration with American and Western policy, revealing the objectives behind Russia's use of military power - namely, to maintain its regional influence in Eurasia and to enhance its status in the world. Geukjian provides a detailed examination of the Geneva and Astana peace processes, the geopolitical objectives of Turkey, Iran, Israel, and Saudi Arabia, and how disagreements between Russia and the United States over issues of regime change, global security, and armaments have negative implications for international conflict management. The Russian Military Intervention in Syria is an authoritative overview, based on a wide range of new and updated sources, providing a fresh interpretation and analysis of Russia's foreign policy goals and Russian diplomacy in handling the Syrian conflict.

Draws upon personal experiences during the 1999 Kosovo air campaign to discuss the probable characteristics of future military operations. The capacity for advanced technologies to provide new ways to conduct war is discussed. The US is currently the only nation with the military capability to project power globally, therefore, most interventions to protect people will be carried out by coalitions rather than individual countries. The increasing reluctance to intervene is examined, along with the parallel expansion of a human rights culture, & the domestic politicization of war. An analysis of the Kosovo air campaign points out that it was an intervention carried out by 19 democratic countries, without UN approval, for the purpose of halting massive human rights abuses. The campaign's remarkable success; criticisms of it by "military experts"; & the effect of public scrutiny are discussed. Examination of the implications of Kosovo for the direction of future warfare suggests that there will a revitalized focus on conflict prevention, & increasing reluctance to intervene militarily to save human lives, except in response to terrorist attacks.
