Beyond Declaring Victory and Coming Home: The Challenges of Peace and Stability Operations
The political practice of declaring victory and coming home has provided a false and dangerous domestic impression of great success for U.S. unilateral and multilateral interventions in failing and failed states around the world. The reality of such irresponsibility is that the root causes and the violent consequences of contemporary intranational conflict are left to smolder and reignite at a later date with the accompanying human and physical waste. This book discusses why it is incumbent on the international community and individual powers involved in dealing with the chaos of the post-Cold War world to understand that such action requires a long-term, holistic, and strategic approach. The intent of such an approach is to create and establish the proven internal conditions that can lead to a mandated peace and stability—with justice. The key elements that define those conditions at the strategic level include: (1) the physical establishment of order and the rule of law; (2) the isolation of belligerents; (3) the regeneration of the economy; (4) the shaping of political consent; (5) fostering peaceful conflict resolution processes; (6) achieving a complete unity of effort toward stability; and (7) establishment and maintenance of a legitimate civil society. These essential dimensions of contemporary global security and stability requirements comprise a new paradigm that will, hopefully, initiate the process of rethinking both problem and response.

Peace and Stability Lessons from Bosnia
Manwaring discusses the United States' involvement in Bosnia in the 1990s, analyzing the nation's peacekeeping efforts in the region. He suggests that two things must be taken into account in order to ensure success in such operations: an understanding of post-Cold War strategies and an effective working relationship with other governments and non-government agencies.

Peru's Sendero Luminoso: The Shining Path Beckons
A security threat confronts the West from the world's gray areas-regions where control is shifting to half-political, half-criminal transnational powers, such as Peru's Sendero Luminoso (Shining Path). Sendero Luminoso's vision, organization, and action program provide a new Marxist-Leninist-Maoist model for reforming political actors operating in other gray areas. Until the Sendero Luminoso insurgency is seriously addressed at the strategic level, the causes and consequences of such insurgency will continue to threaten Peru and perhaps other parts of the hemisphere and the world.
