Peacekeeping Peacekeeping GOVT333, Spring 2010 Professor Lise Morjé Howard Tuesdays, 2:15-4:05 Room: ICC 231 Office Hours: Tuesdays, 10-12, 3240 Prospect St. (Street Level) and by appointment email: [email protected] This seminar will explore historical and recent developments in peacekeeping, focusing primarily on UN peacekeeping, but also examining the U.S., NATO and other regional organizations. We will begin by studying the origins of peacekeeping, peacebuilding, and issues of multilateral intervention in civil wars. We will survey contrasting cases of success and failure in multidimensional peacekeeping in civil wars, in an effort to determine which factors were the most important determinants of the outcomes of the operations. We will then explore contemporary U.S. interest in peacekeeping, regional peacekeeping efforts, and some recent cases such as Afghanistan and Iraq. Finally, we will examine current debates in peacekeeping including whether force should be used, the “responsibility to protect,” and attempts to reform and improve the UN’s capacity to keep the peace. Course Requirements: Attendance is mandatory. More than two absences may lead to a failing participation grade. Assigned readings must be completed before class. Active participation in discussion and debates is expected and will account for a large part of your grade (15 percent). Each student will be responsible for preparing discussion questions with a partner once during the semester (15 percent of grade). There will be three one-page writing assignments (15 percent), a 10-12 page research paper (30 percent), and a take home final exam (25 percent).

  • Afghanistan, 1989-1996: Between the Soviets and the Taliban
    Afghanistan, 1989-1996: Between the Soviets and the Taliban A thesis submitted to the Miami University Honors Program in partial fulfillment of the Requirements for University Honors with Distinction by, Brandon Smith May 2005 Oxford, OH ABSTRACT AFGHANISTAN, 1989-1996: BETWEEN THE SOVIETS AND THE TALIBAN by, BRANDON SMITH This paper examines why the Afghan resistance fighters from the war against the Soviets, the mujahideen, were unable to establish a government in the time period between the withdrawal of the Soviet army from Afghanistan in 1989 and the consolidation of power by the Taliban in 1996. A number of conflicting explanations exist regarding Afghanistan’s instability during this time period. This paper argues that the developments in Afghanistan from 1989 to 1996 can be linked to the influence of actors outside Afghanistan, but not to the extent that the choices and actions of individual actors can be overlooked or ignored. Further, the choices and actions of individual actors need not be explained in terms of ancient animosities or historic tendencies, but rather were calculated moves to secure power. In support of this argument, international, national, and individual level factors are examined. ii Afghanistan, 1989-1996: Between the Soviets and the Taliban by, Brandon Smith Approved by: _________________________, Advisor Karen L.

The Fragmentation of Afghanistan: State Formation and Collapse in the International System Barnett Rubin , Joanne J. Myers June 25, 2002 Introduction Remarks Questions and Answers Introduction JOANNE MYERS: On behalf of the Carnegie Council, I would like to welcome members and guests to our Author in the Afternoon. We're extremely pleased to have with us Barnett Rubin, author of The Fragmentation of Afghanistan. The Fragmentation of Afghanistan When I first began to plan the programs for last fall, it would have been unimaginable to predict the nature of the journeys taken since that time. As this year comes to a close, it seems appropriate that our last program before we adjourn for the summer should focus on Afghanistan. After all, it is the country where years of misrule and abuse of power provided the fertile ground from which the terrorists were able to prepare and plan the horrifying attacks of last fall. September 11th was a defining moment for all of us, and the war on terrorism which followed dramatically influenced our planning for this year's programs. Nine months have passed since that time, but nowhere in the world has a country been changed more than Afghanistan. Although Afghanistan appears to be moving in a better direction, the task of rebuilding this country is far from complete. As we struggle to understand the events taking place there today, it is instructive to examine this nation's history in the hope that we will learn from our past mistakes and be able to participate more constructively in its future.

Rubin’s Afghanistan From the Cold War through the War on Terror is an essential read for those interested not only in the socio-economic and political history of Afghanistan but also for those interested in the role that foreign powers can have on a state, writes Samaya Borom. Essays cover human rights, security, the narcotics trade, and post-conflict statebuilding. Afghanistan from the Cold War through the War on Terror. Barnett R Rubin. Oxford University Press. April 2013. Find this book: Not long after the 24th of September 2001, a Central Intelligence Agency operative carried $3 million in cash into the Panjshir Valley to disperse money to Afghan commanders to try to overthrow the Taliban and to ensure strategic alliance with the United States. After the funds were initially dispersed, the CIA Counterterrorist Center dispatched $10 million more and as the cashed up commanders exchanged their USD funds for local currency they flooded the market, devalued the dollar and effectively crippled Afghanistan’s economy. The insights revealed throughout Barnett Rubin’s Afghanistan, from the Cold War through the War on Terror come from essays collated over more than a decade whilst Rubin was employed by the Council of Foreign Relations and the Center on International Cooperation at New York University, and crucially while he was also acting as a consultant to the United Nations mission to Afghanistan.

Afghanistan government and partner countries including Japan have stepped in the full-scale development stage. On the other hand, Afghanistan holds formidable obstacles for steady economic development such as growing trend of opium production, deteriorating security conditions especially in southern and east- southern areas, glacial progress on governance rebuilding, etc. Those issues demand us, international partners, to have regional perspectives towards Afghanistan when we try to find out the effective solutions for them, because Afghanistan is located at the cross road of South-West Asia, Central Asia and Middle East and has a long history of interactions and interchanges of the people with these surrounding countries. This seminar focuses on how International partners can hold a sound observation on the regional context about Afghanistan’s today and the future, and how we can make the better contibution to sustainable development of Afghanistan based on such observation.

  • State Strengthening in Afghanistan Lessons Learned, 2001–14
    [PEACEW RKS [ STATE STRENGTHENING IN AFGHANISTAN LESSONS LEARNED, 2001–14 Edited by Scott Smith and Colin Cookman ABOUT THE REPORT In March 2015, the United States Institute of Peace (USIP), Chatham House, and Stanford University held a two-day conference on “State-Strengthening in Afghanistan 2001–2014: Learning from the Past to Inform the Future.” This report comprises a selection of papers presented at the conference. The papers look back critically at thirteen years of international intervention in Afghanistan, focusing on the impact of state- strengthening exercises on security, democratization, governance, the economy, rule of law, infrastructure, civil society participation, youth development, and women’s empowerment. They describe, from the perspective of Afghan and international policy makers and experts, the immense and often unforseen challenges in rebuilding the Afghan state.
