Title: Peace Operations: The Cost Of Doing Business
Abstract: Abstract : The end of the cold war and the emergence of the United States as the last remaining super power have forced the US to lead the world in peace operations. The demise of the Cold War's bipolar balance of power has led to an increase in ethnic, religious and nationalist conflicts throughout the world. The US has increasingly been drawn into peace operations in order to stabilize the international security environment in support of its national interests. This increased involvement in peace operations coupled with the United States' post-Cold and Gulf War military force reduction has stretched the military component of US national power to the limits of acceptable readiness. A detailed cost/benefit analysis of past, ongoing, and potential future peace operations is necessary to ensure that US national interests are protected.
