When Diplomacy is Not Enough: Managing Multinational Military Inverventions: A Report to the Carnegie Commission on Preventing Deadly Conflict

viii, 45 p. Notes and References. Tables. Foreword by John Shalikashvili. This study is part of a larger effort by the Carnegie Commission on Preventing Deadly Conflict to devise ways of reducing mass violence in the international system. Although the Commission was primarily concerned with preventing the outbreak of violence and therefore emphasized means of early warning and conflict avoidance, it did consider the constructive use of force in dealing with violence. It recognized that the international community would not always be able to predict and prevent the outbreak of violence and therefore needed to develop the capability to mitigate violence. The Commission also hoped to contribute to the development of a system of intervention that was so predictable, rapid, and effective that its mere existence would act as a deterrent against mass violence. General Goodpaster (Ret. ) was the Cochair of the Atlantic Council of the United States and the Chair of the George C. Marshall Foundation.
