International Crisis and Conflict

Clutterbuck examines the experience of crisis management and war in history, mainly through 24 case studies, culminating in the Persian Gulf, Somalia, Cambodia, and Bosnia in 1990-93. He examines the disintegration of the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia, the opening of West European frontiers, and the conflicts arising or likely to arise from them. He considers the opportunities for resolving conflicts by the post-Cold War UN security council and the potential of NATO now that it is no longer tied to the Iron Curtain.
