Synopsis
O'Hanlon (foreign policy studies, Brookings Institute) examines the state of global military capabilities and assesses how far short they fall of the actual need for intervention forces in humanitarian efforts. He then lays out an agenda for increasing the international community's military capacity to stop deadly conflict through peacekeeping, peace enforcement, or forcible humanitarian intervention operations. In addition to proposing changes in U.S. policy, the author suggests ways in which other countries of the world might make greater contributions. Annotation ©2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
