About this title

Synopsis

Peace is the most essential product of nationbuilding. Without peace, neither economic growth nor democratization is possible. The authors of Europe's Role in NationBuilding investigate the use of armed force as part of broader nationbuilding efforts led by European powers and its success at achieving the objective of transforming a society emerging from conflict into one at peace with itself and its neighbors. They then evaluate Europe's performance against the U.S. and United Nations records in past nationbuilding operations.

From the Back Cover

This volume compares and contrasts European experiences in nation-building with those of the U.S. and the UN based on six case studies of European-led nation-building missions in Albania, Sierra Leone, Macedonia, Cote d'Ivoire, the Congo, and Bosnia.
