Abstract

Abstract : With the end of the Cold War, the United States is experiencing an expanded role in the conduct of peace operations. This study traces the evolution and development of American strategy, doctrine, and terminology for peace operations, and identifies challenges within this framework for responding to and supporting peace operations in the post Cold War era. The paper examines the legal norms relating to the use of force, beginning with the formal study of war, followed by the evolution of United States peace operations strategy and doctrine in two distinct periods, the Cold War and post-Cold War eras. It then describes challenges to American policy makers and strategists in this expanding area of military operations. Extensive endnotes and a Glossary are included for clarity and reference.
