Notes and References Introduction 1. In this book, ‘peacekeeping’ refers to those operations designated by the Russian government and/or the CIS bodies as peacekeeping actions. The term is placed in inverted commas, because these operations have differed substantially from international practice. 2.

See, for example, Scott Parrish (1996) ‘Chaos in Foreign Policy Decision-Making’, Transitions (17 May), in which it is argued that Russian foreign policy does not ‘reflect a broader design, careful plan- ning or cool deliberation’. 1 Peacekeeping and Coercive Diplomacy: Russian Suasion 1.

In Agenda for Peace, Secretary General Boutros Boutros-Ghali went even further: ‘the time of absolute and exclusive sovereignty has passed … its theory was never matched by reality’. 12. Security Council Resolution 688 of April 1991, which led to Operation Provide Comfort regarding the Kurdish population in Northern Iraq, was justified in terms of threats this situation posed to peace and secur- ity.

It is interesting that so-called ‘middle-ground’ theorists have also retreated from more ambitious approaches to peacekeeping.

In June and July 1994, the Security Council passed three resolutions to this effect: (i) permitting French intervention in Rwanda, which led to Operation Turquoise; (ii) expanding the UN observer mission in the Georgia-Abkhazia conflict; and (iii) allowing US inter- vention in Haiti to ensure the return of Aristide before 15 October 1994. 28.

For an overview of the literature on coercive intervention, see R. J. Vincent (1974) Non-Intervention and International Order (NJ: Princeton, Princeton University Press); and Hedley Bull (ed.) (1984) Intervention in World Politics (Oxford University Press). See also Neil MacFarlane (1985) Intervention and Regional Security, Adelphi Paper no. 196, p. 1. MacFarlane’s work is particularly interesting in underlin- ing the reactive nature of intervention. The interplay between Hans Morganthau’s ‘push’ perspective and Thucydides’ ‘pull’ interpretation is relevant to the Russian case. In all, however, this literature is in- appropriate for examining Russian ‘peacekeeping’, as it focuses only on the coercive tool without delving into the wider purposes of the intervenor’s policy. 32. See also the analysis of the ‘discrete use of force’ in Barry Blechman and Stephen S. Kaplan (eds) (1978) Force Without War: US Armed Forces as a Political Instrument (Washington DC: Brookings 192 Notes and References to Chapter 1 Institution). Blechman and Kaplan argue that military force can repre- sent a ‘discrete’ instrument of policy in time of peace. The ‘discrete use of force’ is defined as: ‘when physical actions are taken by one or more components of the uniformed military services as part of a deliberate attempt by the national authorities to influence, or to be prepared to influence the specific behaviour of individuals in another nation without engaging in a continuing contest of violence’. See also work on Soviet use of force in Stephen Kaplan (ed.) (1981) Diplomacy of Power (Washington, DC: The Brookings Institution). 33. See the discussion in Alexander L. George and Gordon A. Craig (1990) Force and Statecraft, Diplomatic Problems of our Time, 2nd edn (New York: Oxford University Press), pp. 197–211; and Alexander L. George (1991) Forceful Persuasion: Coercive Diplomacy as an Alternative to War (Washington, DC: US Institute for Peace). 34. George discusses such cases as the American bombing of Hanoi in 1965, the US arming of the Contras in the early 1980s, and US policy during the Cuban missile crisis in 1962. 35. Ibid., p. 198. 36. George, (1991) (Washington, DC: US Institute for Peace), p. 7. 37. George and Craig (1990) (Oxford University Press), p. 201. George and Craig determine a number of ‘contextual’ as well as ‘policy’ variables that will affect the implementation and course of a policy of ‘coercive diplomacy’. 38. Ibid., p. 211. 39. E. N. Luttwak (1974) The Political Uses of Sea Power (Baltimore: Md Johns Hopkins University Press). 40. Ibid., p. 6. 41. Ibid., p. 54. 42. Ibid., p. 35. 43. Ibid., p. 57. 44. E. N. Luttwak (1987) Strategy, The Logic of War and Peace (Cambridge, Mass: Harvard University Press), p. 193. 45. See George (1991), p. 4. George does recognize explicitly the limits of this ideal-type view of the state. 46. Scott Parrish has argued that it is impossible to refer to rational strate- gic decision-making in Russia. The foreign policy-making process is characterized by ad hoc decision-making and ‘freelancing’ by different agencies.
