Bush, the United nations and nation-building / Chesterman, Simon 2004  Journal Article
Chesterman, Simon Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2004.
Description p101-116
Summary/Abstract Would greater UN involvement have avoided any of the mistakes made by the Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) in administering Iraq? Three of the most egregious errors – failing to provide for emergency law and order, disbanding the Iraqi army and blanket de-Ba'athification – ran counter to lessons from previous operations. But the greatest mistake by US planners may have been the assumption that previous UN nation-building efforts have achieved limited success because of UN incompetence, rather than because of the inherent contradictions in building democracy through foreign military intervention. The United States is now engaged, in Afghanistan and Iraq, in two of the most ambitious nation-building projects in its history. The US took a predominant role in part because of the circumstances in which the two conflicts commenced, but also as an extension of the present administration's more general suspicion of multilateral institutions such as the United Nations. This suspicion now undermines the chances of either operation concluding successfully.

Does the UN have intelligence? / Chesterman, Simon   Journal Article
Chesterman, Simon Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2006.
Summary/Abstract Is collective security possible when evaluating and responding to threats depend on access to intelligence that, by its nature, cannot be shared openly? Debates over whether the United States should share intelligence with and through the United Nations have arisen in every administration and have been won each time by those who showed that it was in the US interest to do so. The question is no longer whether intelligence should be shared, but rather how and to what effect.

Walking Softly in Afghanistan: the future of UN state-building / Chesterman, Simon 2002  Article
Chesterman, Simon Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2002.
Description 37-45
Summary/Abstract The United Nations mission in Afghanistan adopted the guiding principle that it should first and foremost bolster Afghan capacity – both official and non-governmental – and rely on as limited an international presence and on as many Afghan staff as possible. This has come to be referred to as the ‘light footprint’ approach, a stark departure from the expansive UN mandates in Kosovo and East Timor. This is in keeping with the limited role accorded to the United Nations in the Bonn Agreement, negotiated in December 2001 after the rout of the Taliban by the United States and its foreign and local allies. But it also represents a philosophical challenge to the increasing aggregation of sovereign powers exercised in UN peace operations since the mid-1990s.
