Jespersen, David M. "Coalition logistics in Somalia." Marine Corps Gazette Apr 1994, v78n4, p. 32-34

ABSTRACT: Providing logistics support for all the military forces, transnational organizations and diplomats that descend upon a peacekeeping operation is tough. The US's logistical operations in Somalia are outlined.

Jacchia, Enrico. "Operation Restore Hope : Milan." World Press Review Jan 1993, v40n1, p. 6

ABSTRACT: The question of who will govern Somalia once the civil strife is over is pondered. It seems that the UN's goal is to impose military peace in Somalia, and that Secy-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali is trying to renew prestige in the UN.

ABSTRACT: Croatian President Franjo Tudjman has said that the 12,000 UN peacekeepers patrolling the cease-fire line along the Serb-occupied Croatian region of Krajina must leave the country beginning Mar 31, 1995. The move threatens to plunge the former Yugoslavia into all-out war.

ABSTRACT: The UN's Force in Cyprus has not brought about a settlement of the problem that brought about its creation. However, the force has maintained calm, and this in itself may justify the force's occupation of Cyprus.

James, Patrick.; Oneal, John R. "The Influence of Domestic and International Politics on the President's Use of Force." Journal of Conflict Resolution Jun 1991, v35n2, p. 307-332

ABSTRACT: The argument that domestic and political factors are more influential on the president's decision to use military force than characteristics of the international environment is re-examined. A measure of the severity of ongoing crises is seen as a better indicator of presidential behavior.

ABSTRACT: (April 10) Today's NATO air strikes against Serbian positions in Bosnia came 4 days after advisers to President Clinton resolved a dispute over the use of force and paved the way for the UN to request the attack. Seeking to end the controversy over embarrassing and often conflicting statements by U.S. officials, the administration decided that the U.S. would regard a further Serbian advance on Gorazde as a threat to UN peacekeeping troops there. By portraying the Serbian attacks as a danger to UN forces, British Lieut. Gen. Sir Michael Rose was able to effectively guarantee prompt approval of his request for NATO air strikes.

ABSTRACT: (May 17) Clinton Administration officials said today that the United States's refusal to authorize the immediate dispatch of 5,500 United Nations troops to Rwanda reflects a new caution from an administration now determined to prevent U.N. peacekeeping missions that it views as unwise. After a year of setbacks for the U.N. in Somalia and other trouble spots, the organization must be prevented from overreaching in Rwanda and risking what credibility it retains, the officials said.

ABSTRACT: Opposition forces loyal to Somali warlord Mohammed Farah Aidid recently attacked 2 strongpoints controlled by Pakistani peacekeeping troops. The attacks have led U.S. and UN military officials to remark that Mogadishu is anything but secure. Meanwhile, a body believed to be that of the 18th American soldier killed by General Aidid's militia in an Oct. 3 battle with U.S. forces has been handed over to American officials.

ABSTRACT: (Oct. 26) Intense fighting between the rival Somali clans of Gen. Mohammed Farah Aidid and Mohammed Ali Mahdi subsided this evening, but the capital of Mogadishu remained tense after 30 hours of violence that reflected a new willingness by peacekeeping forces to let civil unrest in Somalia run its course. The episode, in which at least 17 Somalis were killed, made obvious just how limited a role the U.S. intends to play here before pulling out its troops on March 31.

ABSTRACT: Adm. Jonathan Howe, United Nations special envoy in Somalia, believes that the demand that the leaders of Somalia's warring factions surrender their heavy weapons should not be set aside now that an uneasy ceasefire has been reached. The demand has been a main point of friction in the dispute between the UN and Gen. Mohammed Farah Aidid, who has been blamed for attacks on UN peacekeepers.

Jencks, Christopher. "Lessons for liberals." The New York Review of Books v. 35 (Dec. 22 '88) p. 21-2

KEY WORDS: Liberalism.

ABSTRACT: Part of a cover story on the 1988 presidential race. As long as social issues remain at the center of the televised political stage, no northern Democrat is likely to win a presidential election. Democratic candidates for Congress have managed to win elections because most congressional districts are relatively homogeneous. Democrats who run for Congress are therefore able to tailor their stance on social issues to local preferences. If presidential candidates take liberal positions on social issues, however, they risk estranging the white South, while if they take conservative positions, they risk estranging the educated liberals who help fund their campaigns. So far, Republican presidents have managed to juggle peacekeeping with economic management. If the Reagan economic bubble bursts, however, the focus of the next campaign will be on the economy, giving the Democrats a platform on which they could win.

SUBJECT DESCRIPTORS: United Nations.

ABSTRACT: In an address at Highland High School in Highland, Utah, the chief judge for the United States District Court, District of Utah, discusses the 45th anniversary of the UN: It is important to celebrate and honor the fundamental values of the UN. These values include maintaining international peace and security, developing friendly relations among nations, achieving international cooperation in solving problems, and harmonizing the efforts of nations to achieve these goals. Today, the UN shows a new and refreshing degree of unity, and it faces the opportunity to fortify the rule of law internationally. The rule of law impels obedience and acquiescence because it grows from a faith in the process and from a respect for rational methods of resolving disputes.

ABSTRACT: An article excerpted from the Guardian news service of London. A UN commission based in Geneva is investigating alleged war crimes in the former Yugoslavia, but its work is being impeded by lack of sufficient funds. Members of the commission's volunteer staff suspect that the underfunding is deliberate. They fear that their work is being used to hide UN inaction on the Yugoslavian civil war and that the UN may grant war criminals immunity from prosecution in exchange for a peace agreement.

ABSTRACT: The proposal to recommend the enlargement of Japanese military capabilities is unwise because it undermines the UN's contribution to world peace and a peaceful element of Japanese foreign policy. The need for the UN to solicit Japanese volunteers to serve in UN peacekeeping endeavors is discussed.

Johansen, Robert C. "Japan as a military power?." The Christian Century v. 110 (May 5 '93) p. 477-8

KEY WORDS: Japan--Military policy.Japan--Foreign relations.

ABSTRACT: The U.S. and UN secretary-general Boutros Boutros-Ghali have made a mistake in urging Japanese officials to evade or abolish the constitutional restrictions that prevent Japan from deploying military forces overseas. Boutros-Ghali claims that he is seeking to enlarge the number of countries for the UN's peacekeeping operations and to strengthen Japan's claim to a permanent Security Council seat. The U.S. would like Japan to become a greater military power to alleviate the burden on U.S. forces in Asia. However, to propose enlargement of Japan's military capabilities undermines both the UN's commitment to world peace and an inherently peaceful element of Japan's foreign policy, which is supported by its neighbors. By recommending such a policy, the U.S. and UN unintentionally encourage militaristic elements in Japanese society.

Kamath, M. V. "The politics of resentment." World Press Review v. 35 (Oct. '88) p. 19-20

KEY WORDS: United Nations--United States.

ABSTRACT: Part of a cover story on the United Nations. Excerpted from Bombay's Indian Post. The United States' refusal to help fund the United Nations, based on its anger over its diminishing power within the organization, has endangered the existence of the world peacekeeping body. Until 1960, when a host of Third World nations became members, the Western powers and their allies dominated the organization. U.S. demands for weighted voting have been denied. In retaliation, America has downgraded its representation and withdrawn from the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). Most recently, Congress denied the UN some of its legally due contributions, asserting that the UN must show "progress" in meeting the demands of a previously signed agreement calling for UN staff reductions, budgets reached by consensus, and long-term contracts for Soviet staff members.

ABSTRACT: El Salvador's success in negotiating an end to 12 years of civil war may be an important model for conflict resolution in a post-cold war world. The war's end, marked by the signing of a peace treaty by President Alfredo Cristiani and the rebel Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front, was made possible by several factors: a military stalemate, increased flexibility on both sides brought about by momentous events in El Salvador and the world, the presence of a respected neutral arbiter in the UN, and a gradual shift in U.S. foreign policy away from the military-based strategy of the Reagan years toward support for a negotiated solution. El Salvador's success demonstrates that the deliberate underutilization of power in regional conflicts can be most conducive to peace, that regular elections alone will not guarantee democracy, and that multilateralism, especially under the auspices of an international organization, is more conducive to settlements than unilateralism.

ABSTRACT: Part of a cover story on the militarization of the Third World. For two decades Third World conflicts proliferated and grew in intensity, and multilateral institutions had a mixed record in bringing peace, but since 1987, the UN Security Council has worked to mediate regional disputes in Afghanistan, Namibia, Cambodia, and the Persian Gulf. Perhaps the most useful evolution in UN conflict management has been the development of the UN peacekeeping forces, which are ad hoc military units that are traditionally drawn from the armed forces of UN member countries other than the Big Five. The forces are generally deployed along a cease-fire line, where they separate hostile parties, monitor the cessation of warfare, and if possible, facilitate a negotiated settlement. With the exception of its force in Lebanon, the force has succeeded in ending hostilities and preventing their renewal for some time in all areas where they have been deployed.

ABSTRACT: Part of a cover story on the militarization of the Third World. Serious differences between the United States and the Soviet Union regarding the Third World could sour superpower relations and halt progress in resolving regional conflicts. Both nations now provide large-scale military assistance to their Third World allies. In general, however, neither country has made a serious effort to deal with the causes of regional disputes. To avoid a fallout, the United States and the USSR should agree on some basic rules for resolving Third World conflicts. For example, arms transfers to contending parties should be halted simultaneously, warring parties should form a transitional coalition government and conduct free elections within a few months, no internal parties or leaders should be excluded from the elections, and before the elections, all foreign troops except international peacekeeping forces should leave.

SUBJECT DESCRIPTORS: United Nations--Persian Gulf region.Kuwait--Iraqi invasion, 1990-1991--American intervention.

ABSTRACT: The November 29 resolution of the UN Security Council on the Persian Gulf crisis, like previous resolutions on the matter, invites the crisis to continue to unfold in slow motion. Although the resolution seemed to indicate a clear line of action, President Bush's subsequent suggestion of further discussions with Iraq leaves things unresolved. Spectators can only wait to see how and when Bush will ultimately resolve to act. From the start, Bush has chosen to involve the UN in this conflict, and it is said that the UN, which has never been successful in preserving peace, will assume greater importance in the future. The effectiveness of the UN, however, still depends on good relations between the superpowers. If these relations sour, the existence or nonexistence of the UN will make little difference in whether peace is achieved.

Keller, Bill. "A militant black group calls off 'armed struggle' in South Africa." New York Times (Late New York Edition) (Jan. 17 '94) p. A2

KEY WORDS: Pan Africanist Congress.Terrorism--South Africa.South Africa--Politics and government.

ABSTRACT: (Jan. 16) The Pan Africanist Congress announced today that it was suspending its "armed struggle" in South Africa, calling off a terrorist campaign to which a series of lethal attacks over the past year has been attributed. The declaration opens the way for the militant organization's members to take part in the country's first free elections next April and possibly for members of its Azanian People's Liberation Army branch to become part of the new national peacekeeping force.

SUBJECT DESCRIPTORS: Israel-Arab Wars, 1967- --Territorial questions.Egypt--Foreign relations--Middle East.

ABSTRACT: A secret meeting between Israeli prime minister Shimon Peres and a top-ranking Egyptian envoy was the high point of a flurry of diplomatic activity that offers a glimmer of hope for a Middle East peace settlement. At issue is a peace plan drawn up by Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak. The plan calls for meetings between a joint Jordanian-Palestinian delegation and the United States, followed by talks between the delegation and Israel, with a United Nations conference approving any bilateral settlement. The United States has expressed a willingness to help, but officials are skeptical of the plan's chances for success. The sticky issue of Palestine Liberation Organization involvement has been resolved to Israel's liking--PLO members won't be part of the delegation--but Israel opposes the Arab delegation's planned meeting with the United States. Syria remains the wild card in a plan that faces many hurdles.

Kelman, Steven. "Adversary and cooperationist institutions for conflict resolution in public policymaking." Journal of Policy Analysis & Management Spring 1992, v11n2, p. 178-206

ABSTRACT: A case for placing greater reliance on "cooperative institutions," that is, ones where parties reach agreement among themselves rather than with a third party, is offered. Public conflict resolution is discussed.

Kemp, Walter. "Giving teeth to the CSCE?" World Today Oct 1994, v50n10, p. 183-185

ABSTRACT: The Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe (CSCE) has historically been in the position of having good intentions but lacking the means to enforce them. Initiatives have been put forth for the Budapest Review Conference that may put the CSCE on a more active course for promoting peace.

Kenichi, Ito. "The Japanese State of Mind : Deliberations on the Gulf Crisis." Journal of Japanese Studies Summer 1991, v17n2, p. 275-290

ABSTRACT: Soon after Iraq invaded Kuwait, the Japanese government drafted the "United Nations Peace Cooperation Bill," which outlined what the Japanese could and could not do to expedite the war. The document is examined.

Keneally, Leo. "Russian peacekeeping doctrine." Peacekeeping & International Relations May 1995, v24n3, p. 7-8

ABSTRACT: Keneally describes the ways in which Russian peacekeeping differs from that of the UN. The UN usually undertakes peacekeeping missions after consent from the parties involved is obtained, but Russian peacemaking doctrine does not consider consent to be a mission prerequisite.

Kenney, George. "The Bosnians' troubling retreat : Embargoed." New Republic Oct 17, 1994, v211n16, p. 12-14

ABSTRACT: If the UN had never imposed an arms embargo on Yugoslavia in 1991 and never gotten involved in the civil war there, the war might have been over and reconstruction begun by 1994. Instead the conflict continues, and the Bosnian government is now choosing to live with the embargo in order to keep the UN peacekeeping forces in its country.

ABSTRACT: The way that the United States withdraws from Somilia is crucial. If the U.S. pulls out of Somalia prematurely, the reputation of the U.S. military would be tarnished, and the idea of a collective UN response to regional problems would be discredited.

ABSTRACT: (March 6) UN officials are increasingly worried that the momentum of their peace effort in Sarajevo is slipping away due to a lack of international support and mounting Serbian recalcitrance. The recent flurry of peacemaking began a month ago, when a mortar shell killed scores of people in a market and NATO responded by threatening the Bosnian Serbs with air strikes if they did not remove or place under UN control their heavy weapons near Sarajevo.

ABSTRACT: (Feb. 13) Serbian nationalists confused the United Nations peacekeeping effort when they demanded that the Bosnian government pull back its infantry in exchange for Serbian withdrawal of artillery. Bosnian prime minister Haris Silajdzic accused the Serbs of "a transparent attempt to delay" and escape the NATO deadline, which gave the Serbs until next Sunday to withdraw or face air strikes.

ABSTRACT: (Feb. 17) According to United Nations officials, convoys of Serbian artillery are pulling back from positions around Sarajevo following an agreement between Russia and Radovan Karadzic, the political leader of the Serbian nationalists in Bosnia. Karadzic announced that the Serbs had accepted a Russian proposal for withdrawal as part of a plan that called for about 800 Russian troops to be brought to the Sarajevo area for unspecified duties.

ABSTRACT: (Feb. 18) Top UN commanders announced today that Bosnian Serbs had agreed to withdraw their heavy weapons from the city or place them under UN control by Saturday night and to allow UN patrols to check on possible violations within their lines. There is a widespread conviction in Sarajevo that the Serbs will avert the air strikes that the Western alliance has threatened to start on Monday if the arms are not removed or placed under UN control.

ABSTRACT: (Feb. 12) United Nations commander in Bosnia Lieut. Gen. Sir Michael Rose said today that he has taken a number of steps in a new, "hard-nosed approach" to making the fragile cease fire in Sarajevo a durable truce. Rose said that he had called in surveillance planes, requested ground radar, and moved to nearly double the peacekeeping troops in Sarajevo.

King, Wayne. "Carter redux." The New York Times Magazine (Dec. 10 '89) p. 38-41+

ABSTRACT: No president since Herbert Hoover has been more active in world affairs after leaving the White House than Jimmy Carter. In recent years, Carter has observed elections in Panama, mediated peace talks between the Marxist-Leninist government of Ethiopia and the Eritrean People's Liberation Front, discussed rules for upcoming elections in Nicaragua with President Daniel Ortega Saavedra, helped convince the president of Somalia to grant clemency to eight political prisoners, and participated in an effort to get 220 Somalian prisoners of war freed from Ethiopia. Much of his recent work has had the approval and support of the Bush administration. The hub of his activities is the Carter Center in Atlanta, which, in addition to the Presidential Library, houses groups that deal with conflict resolution and seek solutions to a variety of world problems.

ABSTRACT: The rise and fall of Values Clarification (VC) are described, and a reconceptualization of VC is presented. The reconceptualization is meant to revitalize the topic of values conflict and clarification, to stimulate new research and to establish an empirically based guidance for psychology practice.

Kinsella, David.; Tillema, Herbert K. "Arms and aggression in the Middle East." Journal of Conflict Resolution Jun 1995, v39n2, p. 306-329

ABSTRACT: The relationship between the Cold War and enduring rivalry in the Third World is examined by analyzing the impact of superpower arms transfers on armed interventions in the Middle East from 1948 to 1991. Evidence suggests that arms transfers from the US to Israel restrained the level of military aggression in the region on the part of both Israel and its Arab rivals.

ABSTRACT: (March 3) Responding to the breakdown of a short-lived truce in Sarajevo, United Nations officials said today that they need more than 10,000 new peacekeeping troops to prevent more cease-fire violations in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The UN urged the U.S. to begin contributing troops to the effort, but the Clinton Administration has rejected the idea.

Kirk, Donald. "The Kurds' Fragile Peace." National Review Jul 8, 1991, v43n12, p. 20-21

ABSTRACT: The US and its allies are justly proud of the image of peace and stability that pervades the "allied zone" in northern Iraq. Kurdish refugees fear for the future, however, believing that UN security forces called "rent-a-cops" by US officers will not be able to stop Saddam Hussein's depradations once allied forces leave.

KEY WORDS: Kurds--Iraq.United States--Armed Forces--Forces in Iraq.

ABSTRACT: The calm now prevailing in Dohuk, on the southern fringe of Iraq's "allied zone," isn't expected to last much beyond the departure of the allies. In cafes in the provincial center, Kurdish guerrillas--whom the allies recently induced to come down from the mountains--discuss their fears of a future that, they are certain, will include further violence. They believe that the UN must send in a full scale multinational peacekeeping force, similar to the one in southern Lebanon, to replace the departing American troops. They fear that the Iraqis will hold back for a while and then resume their persecution of the Kurds in six months or a year, when the world's attention is no longer focused on their suffering.

Kirkwood, R Cort. "One soldier stands alone." Insight on the News Oct 23, 1995, v11n40, p. 11

ABSTRACT: Serious constitutional questions have been raised concerning US troops wearing UN uniforms in Balkan peacekeeping operations because of Michael New's fight for the right not to wear the UN uniform. The issue may assure passage of a proviso in the fiscal 1996 defense bill that would regulate the conditions of American participation in UN operations.

Kirschten, Dick. "Bashing in lockstep." National Journal Nov 12, 1994, v26n46, p. 2686

Kirshenbaum, Gayle. "A potential landmark for female human rights." Ms. v. 2 (Sept./Oct. '91) p. 13

SUBJECT DESCRIPTORS: United Nations.--Commission on Human Rights.Prostitution--International aspects.

ABSTRACT: Experts have proposed the first UN Convention Against Sexual Exploitation, a measure that seems a necessary response to massive increases in global prostitution and efforts to promote prostitution as a legitimate profession and desirable lifestyle. The initiative is framed around the rights of women in prostitution and would broaden all women's rights. A report of an international meeting of experts, held by the Coalition Against Trafficking in Women (a UN non-governmental organization) and the Unesco Division of Human Rights and Peace indicates that there is currently no international instrument that "explicitly stipulates it is a human right to be free of sexual exploitation." The proposal rejects regulation and decriminalization as well as criminalization of prostitution, and it penalizes the customers and pimps, not the women. The points of the convention proposal are listed.

Kirshin, Yuri. "Can we save civilization?." The Courier (Unesco) v. 38 (May '85) p. 13-14

SUBJECT DESCRIPTORS: Nuclear warfare--Prevention.

ABSTRACT: PART OF A SPECIAL ISSUE COMMEMORATING THE END OF WORLD WAR II. Humanity must end the arms race to save civilization. In the past, heads of state considered the advantages and disadvantages of armed conflict before launching a war. Today, however, a world war, necessarily a nuclear one, could have no military, political, or economic advantage. A third world war could kill as many people as have lost their lives in the fourteen thousand wars of the last five thousand years. War is not the only danger to humanity, however. In 1982, global spending on arms totaled $650 thousand million, more than the combined income of the poorest third of the world's population. The reallocation of these funds could solve major global problems. Today the fight for peace is necessary to ensure the survival of the human species. The United Nations and Unesco must redouble their efforts to bring peace to the entire world.

Kitfield, James. "Blueprint for the Balkans" National Journal Oct 14, 1995, v27n41, p. 2561

ABSTRACT: The latest blueprint for the Balkans was issued by the Pentagon last year in the wake of the Somalia debacle. The policy would have the US participate in peacekeeping operations only when they advance American interests, have the support of Congress, require US participation for their success and have both a clear mission objective and an unambiguous end point.

SUBJECT DESCRIPTORS: Afghanistan--Russian invasion, 1979-1989--Peace and mediation.Afghanistan--Politics and government.

ABSTRACT: The agreements collectively known as the Geneva accords that were signed on April 14, 1988, will not prevent the Soviet Union from consolidating control of Afghanistan. Although the accords specify when the withdrawal of Soviet troops is to begin, they do not mandate procedures for enforcing, verifying, or even monitoring that withdrawal. Moreover, the accords do not provide for the enforcement of any terms and do not deal directly with the Soviet presence in Afghanistan. The negotiations that yielded the accords were not conducted as requested by the General Assembly of the United Nations. Rather, they followed the agenda proposed in 1981 by the Kabul regime, which sought to end "outside interference" while retaining Communist control of Afghanistan. As the massive Sovietization of Afghan society continues, it is far from certain that the Kabul regime will fall, that the Afghan refugees will return, or that the Soviets will stop supplying the Afghan army.

ABSTRACT: With the third UN commander in six months being removed, aid convoys at a halt and several European countries demanding the withdrawal of troops, the UN's operation in Bosnia is in trouble. The failure of a new peace attempt in mid-Feb would be just one more turning point in a long string.

ABSTRACT: With nationalism flaring and communist regimes crumbling, UN officials are struggling to negotiate peace and finance reconstruction in a number of countries worldwide. So far, the US and its allies have been much better at finding new missions for the UN than at providing the wherewithal for carrying them out.

ABSTRACT: Pressure is growing for America and its allies to intercede in Bosnia. The United Nations peace plan is in ruins, the Serbs are still determined to create a Greater Serbia, and time is running out to save Bosnia's Muslims. A dozen State Department officials have rebelled against President Bill Clinton's policy of caution and have called for military action against the Serbs, and Clinton's UN ambassador has urged air strikes to protect the remaining Muslim enclaves in Bosnia. According to military sources, Secretary of State Warren Christopher and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Colin Powell are still wary of using force, but Clinton is close to ordering U.S. air strikes. The article discusses the lack of consensus among U.S. allies, problems facing Serbian president Slobodan Milosevic, and 3 potential trouble spots in the region, and a related editorial notes the tough options that the United States faces in responding to Serbian aggression.

Knox, Colin. "Conflict resolution at the microlevel : Community relations in Northern Ireland." Journal of Conflict Resolution Dec 1994, v38n4, p. 595-619

ABSTRACT: A study examines whether attitudes on fair employment, prejudice and tolerance between Catholics and Protestants in Northern Ireland have changed in councils participating in a community relations initiative. Some real achievements are detected during the program's four-year period of operation.

Kraines, David.; Kraines, Vivian. "Evolution of learning among Pavlov strategies in a competitive environment with noise." Journal of Conflict Resolution Sep 1995, v39n3, p. 439-466

ABSTRACT: It is shown that when restricted to an environment of only Pavlov-type strategies, slower learning mutants cannot invade an initial dominant population. The "immediate learning" version of Pavlov often fares poorly in this environment.

Kramer, Roderick M.; Pommerenke, Pamela.; Newton, Elizabeth. "The social context of negotiation : Effects of social identity and interpersonal accountability on negotiator decision making." Journal of Conflict Resolution Dec 1993, v37n4, p. 633-654

ABSTRACT: The effects of social identification and interpersonal accountability on negotiator judgment and decision making were investigated. A social contextualist account sheds light on why negotiators' outcomes often deviate from those predicted by normative or rational models of bargaining.

Kramer, Reed. "United Nations wages peace on a tight budget." Africa News Mar 22, 1993, v38n4, p. 1-3

ABSTRACT: Budget restrictions and a variety of other constraints have hampered UN peacekeeping operations in Africa, particularly in Angola where months of intense fighting have elevated the state to the largest-scale war in the world today. UN peacekeeping operations in Africa are discussed.

Krauthammer, Charles. "Nothing succeeds like failure." Time Nov 20, 1995, v146n21, p. 86

ABSTRACT: A peace agreement between the three parties of the Bosnian civil war will lead to divisions in the US and in the Western alliance, since Pres Clinton has promised to send troops to Bosnia if one is made. The parties should be offered two choices: an airtight agreement that would not need outside implementers or no agreement.

Koh, Tommy T. B. "The United Nations: is there life after 40?." USA Today (Periodical) v. 114 (Sept. '85) p. 38-43

SUBJECT DESCRIPTORS: United Nations--History.

ABSTRACT: An adaptation of a speech considering the past and future of the United Nations: In this year, the fortieth anniversary of the UN, the organization's prestige stands at its lowest point ever. The primary criticism of the UN is that it has failed to achieve its main goal, the maintenance of international peace and security. Member nations have violated the principles of the UN charter, those in the Security Council have not acted impartially, and the United States and the Soviet Union have failed to work together. The UN has had some measure of success in conflict management, however, and Secretaries-General have done some good with quiet diplomacy. The General Assembly has suffered from the actions of the nonaligned countries. The UN probably will survive, but only more positive action by the nonaligned countries and the West can make it a more effective organization.

Kolenda, Konstantin. "A new role for the U.N." The Humanist v. 51 (July/Aug. '91) p. 42+

SUBJECT DESCRIPTORS: United Nations.Nationalism.

ABSTRACT: The UN must act as an arbiter for the newly resurgent ethnic and nationalistic disputes that are threatening to erupt into violence. At a time when it seemed possible to hope for global peace, tensions between the nuclear powers have been replaced by bitter and explosive "local" wars. History shows that it is possible for different ethnic groups to live harmoniously while preserving their unique heritages. The UN could help foster such harmony by serving as an impartial third party, hearing and arbitrating conflicts between a country's feuding ethnic groups.

Kolenda, Konstantin. "Philosopher's Column : A New Role for the U.N." Humanist Jul 1991, v51n4, p. 42, 49

ABSTRACT: With the disappearance of the threat of the Cold War, it now seems possible for the UN to return to the task of promoting peace and harmony in the world. The need for a new role of the UN is addressed.

Kondracke, Morton. "Javier of the U.N." The New Republic v. 203 (Aug. 13 '90) p. 20-3

SUBJECT DESCRIPTORS: United Nations.

ABSTRACT: Javier Perez de Cuellar is probably the best secretary-general the United Nations has ever had, and finding a suitable successor when his term ends in 1992 is the biggest challenge currently facing the organization. Perez de Cuellar has helped begin restoration of the UN's intended role as the world's peacemaking agency and problem-solving forum. During his tenure, which began in 1982, the United States and the Soviet Union pledged cooperation in fulfilling the UN Charter, and both have begun paying back money that had been withheld during disputes over UN activities. Although he lacks charisma, Perez de Cuellar has successfully used subtlety and diplomacy to win support from big powers. The end of the cold war makes a continuation of his efforts for peace, economic development, and protection of the environment possible with the proper successor.

KEY WORDS: Persian Gulf War, 1991--Protest movements.Persian Gulf War, 1991--American participation.

ABSTRACT: The movements for and against the war must both deal with new realities. The split between the national security crisis managers and the foreign-policy elite strategists over the advisability of war was the first evidence that the compact that allowed presidents to invade at will and get rubber-stamp approval is no longer routine. The crisis managers immediately assumed a war making posture, but many of the foreign-policy "wise men" of previous administrations understood that a U.S. military undertaking in the Gulf would be a prescription for economic disaster and imperial decline. Many average Americans are also opposed to the war and can't support U.S. involvement in a conflict for no good reason. Like the administration, the peace movement has been wholly reactive for too long. To be effective, it must address the bases for conflicts before they erupt and work for the creation of international organizations with peacekeeping powers and permanent political presence.

KEY WORDS: Aviation--Accidents.Airplanes, Military--Canada.Airplanes, Training--Germany (West).

ABSTRACT: The collision of two Canadian CF-18 Hornet fighter jets over West Germany, which killed one pilot and caused a number of ground fires, has heightened debate over the safety of Canada's fighter planes and the future of the pilot training programs. The disaster, which was the tenth CF-18 crash since 1982, has prompted West German demands for an end to training flights over populated areas. In addition, the decline in East-West tensions has raised suggestions that Canada's military should be more committed to peacekeeping and civilian duties than to combat. Supporters of the fighter program contend, however, that the tragic incidents were part of the accepted risks of flying fighter jets and that Canadian CF-18 pilots are among the best in the world. The military announced that some training flights will continue, but that dogfights will be suspended until the cause of the crash is determined.

SUBJECT DESCRIPTORS: Bulletin of the atomic scientists.Saving and savings.Nuclear warfare--Economic aspects.

ABSTRACT: A small group of economists and political scientists has hypothesized that a reduction of superpower tensions will raise the U.S. private savings rate. In a 1986 study that appeared in the Journal of Conflict Resolution, University of Michigan economist Joel Slemrod presented evidence that savings are negatively correlated with the threat of nuclear war. According to Slemrod, savings increased when the average annual setting of the clock published in the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists reflected the journal editors' belief in a reduction of the likelihood of nuclear war.

SUBJECT DESCRIPTORS: Israel-Arab Wars, 1967- --Territorial questions.Israel--Politics and government.

ABSTRACT: The Israeli government's 21/2-year-old coalition agreement between the right-wing Likud bloc and the centrist Labor Party seems headed for a bitter breakup over Foreign Minister and Labor leader Shimon Peres's proposed Mideast peace conference. Before last week's meeting of the inner cabinet, which is equally divided beween Labor and Likud, Peres had hoped to get at least one Likud vote for continued "exploration" of his plan to bring Israel to the bargaining table with its Arab enemies and the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council. Prime Minister and Likud leader Yitzhak Shamir, however, denounced the scheme as "perverse and criminal" and successfully warded off any desertions. Peres decided not to bring the proposal to a vote but blocked Shamir's distribution of a circular claiming that the cabinet had rejected the plan. As the war of words continues, both parties seem to be positioning themselves for an election-day showdown.

Kuenne, Robert E. "Conflict management in mature rivalry." Journal of Conflict Resolution Sep 1989, v33n3, p. 554-566

ABSTRACT: A study defines an environment of mature rivalry in which a prospective interaction of decisions takes place in a manner that restrains conflict through the fostering of mind-sets, institutions, and conditions that enhance cooperation. A formal framework for analyzing the solution process in contexts of mature rivalry is discussed using the theory of rivalrous consonance.

ABSTRACT: The collective goods argument that nations defeated in war, the political structures and distributional coalitions of which are also devastated, will increase economic competition and accelerate economic recovery is tested. Results show that economic destruction has a positive impact on postwar recovery.

Kull, Steven. "Misreading the public mood." Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists Mar 1995, v51n2, p. 55-59

ABSTRACT: The changing public mood over UN peacekeeping actions when US soldiers are involved is discussed. Many people support humanitarian efforts until it becomes clear there is a lot of danger involved in these actions. The majority of people usually support actions when it is clearly perceived as part of a UN peacekeeping mission.

ABSTRACT: In Apr 1994, the UN's "peace" plan for Yugoslavia collapsed into open war between NATO and Bosnian Serbs. The West's arrogance in leaving Russia out of its plans may have been a key factor.

Lamar, Jacob V., Jr. "A tentative RSVP from Moscow." Time v. 125 (Apr. 15 '85) p. 72

SUBJECT DESCRIPTORS: United States--Foreign relations--Soviet Union.

ABSTRACT: Like each president since Franklin Roosevelt, Ronald Reagan wants to have a summit meeting with his Soviet counterpart. Aides are tentatively suggesting a meeting in October, when the United Nations celebrates its fortieth birthday. Summit meetings have not always been successful, but Reagan seems eager, perhaps hoping to leave his mark on peace-making history. Although the administration has indicated that it does not want a merely social session, it has not proposed a specific agenda. The so-called Star Wars program and the MX missile seem likely topics.

ABSTRACT: The process by which the UN safe haven of Srebrenica Bosnia-Hercegovina fell into Bosnian Serb hands is examined. Srebrenica was militarily indefensible because the UN failed to use the weapons at its disposal for fear of suffering casualties.

Lane, Charles. "The memo." New Republic Nov 20, 1995, v213n21, p. 16-18

ABSTRACT: Lane criticizes European, American and UN officials in the week before the massacre and subsequent fall of Srebrenica Bosnia-Hercegovina to the Serbs. Srebrenica was considered a safe area and was supposed to be protected by air strikes, but the UN and other countries' policies have changed erratically throughout the Bosnian war.

Larson, Bruce A.; Knudson, Mary K. "Whose price wins: institutional and technical change in agriculture." Land Economics v. 67 (May '91) p. 213-24

SUBJECT DESCRIPTORS: Agricultural innovations.Agricultural pollution.

ABSTRACT: The process of institutional and technical change in agriculture was examined in the context of the current conflict between the farm sector and environmental groups over water pollution from agricultural practices. Over $16 million in federal and state funds have been allocated to 87 USDA projects to develop technologies that reduce the environmental impacts of agriculture production. Using the work of Bromley and Livingston, a conceptual model was developed emphasizing that conflict between groups, due to the environment, institutions, and technology, is central to the environmental problem and that institutional change through new regulations and the stronger enforcement of existing regulations implies a resolution of conflict. It is concluded that Pareto-non-comparable conflict resolution, in which the rules are changed to improve the negotiating position, will remain the norm for addressing environmental problems in agriculture.

Last, David M. " Cooperation between units and observers." Peacekeeping & International Relations Sep 1994, v23n5, p. 4

Laver, Ross. "Israel's perilous withdrawal." Maclean's v. 98 (Feb. 25 '85) p. 40-1

KEY WORDS: Lebanon--Israeli invasions, 1982- .

ABSTRACT: Violence escalated as Israel began the first stage of its withdrawal from south Lebanon. Fears that rival Lebanese groups would struggle to fill the vacuum left by the retreating Israelis seemed borne out by assassinations and increased guerrilla attacks. The first phase moves Israeli troops back about 15 km north of the Israeli-Lebanese border. Originally perceived as liberators by the Shi'ites, Israelis are now regarded with hostility by both villagers and UN peacekeeping forces. Many in Israel were relieved that the occupation was over. US Secretary of State George Shultz expressed renewed hope for an Arab-Israeli settlement.

Laver, Ross. "The UN in chains." Maclean's Jun 5, 1995, v108n23, p. 40

ABSTRACT: Canadian Forces Captain Patrick Rechner is among those being held by Serbian forces in Bosnia. The Serbs continue this type of behavior that makes the UN peacekeeping forces look weak.

Lawday, David. "Making the pieces fit." U.S. News & World Report v. 112 (June 1 '92) p. 38-40

KEY WORDS: European Economic Community.

ABSTRACT: The advance toward political unity in Europe is prompting some uneasy questions. With the postwar transatlantic security order starting to unravel, the European Community's move toward political and economic unity is slowing as each EC member debates whether to ratify the Maastricht treaty. Current misgivings, however, are not likely to stop the treaty from taking effect. Meanwhile, potential new members Sweden, Finland, Austria, and Switzerland aim to join the EC as soon as possible. Secretary of State James Baker and his aides are developing a list of peacekeeping and other possible new NATO missions to justify the continued funding of American troops in Europe, but officials acknowledge that the Franco-German corps, the likely forerunner of a European army, cannot be stopped. Views on European unity from Denmark, Italy, Spain, Great Britain, and Germany are discussed.

Lax, David A.; Sebenius, James K. "Negotiating Through an Agent." Journal of Conflict Resolution Sep 1991, v35n3, p. 474-493

ABSTRACT: Recent research examined bargaining behavior in situations in which a bargaining agent is uncertain about the terms that are minimally acceptable to the principal. It was found that the inherent uncertainty of agency bargaining can frequently make disagreement more likely.

Leach, Raymond J. ""Information" support to U.N. forces." Marine Corps Gazette Sep 1994, v78n9, p. 49-50

ABSTRACT: A firsthand account of the UN mission in the former Yugoslavia shows that the "UN culture" is completely alien to traditional US methods of intelligence support. The deficiencies of the UN's method are discussed.

Leahy, Patrick. "Hidden killers : Solving the global land mine crisis." America Jun 17, 1995, v172n21, p. 5-6

ABSTRACT: Land mines endanger civilians most of all, but they also kill and maim US soldiers, whether in combat or on peacekeeping missions. Measures to halt exports of anti-personnel land mines--legislation and UN resolutions--are discussed.

Lear, Martha Weinman. "The new marital therapy." The New York Times Magazine (Mar. 6 '88) p. 63-4

SUBJECT DESCRIPTORS: Marriage counseling.

ABSTRACT: As the traditional values of constancy, stability, and intimacy begin to replace the marital discord and alternate life-styles of the 1970s, marital therapists have altered their approaches with couples. Where they once spoke of self-actualization and self-fulfillment, they now treat the marital unit as the "patient" and work on couples' functioning as couples. Therapists have noted that couples are entering therapy earlier, as a form of preventive medicine rather than as crisis intervention, and that many are turning to premarital therapy. In addition, an increasing number of men are initiating therapy. Therapists are using a variety of computerized tests and scales to assess marital problems. Although social change has caused some new marital difficulties, the familiar ones of communication disputes, conflict resolution, and sexual dissatisfaction remain the most common.

Leavitt, Jacqueline. "The House of Ruth." The Nation v. 246 (Apr. 2 '88) p. 472-4

SUBJECT DESCRIPTORS: House of Ruth (Organization)

ABSTRACT: Part of a special section offering reactions to Jonathan Kozol's book about homelessness, Rachel and Her Children. Though Kozol's book powerfully depicts the daily lives of homeless families, it fails to discuss broad solutions to the crisis. A housing policy that is rooted in the daily experiences of women would be an effective means of reform. In small-scale refuge centers, traditional female skills such as budgeting, cleaning, and conflict resolution have served to help the homeless towards independence. In Los Angeles, for example, the House of Ruth provides not only food and shelter but also myriad services such as career counseling and home-search assistance. Such programs provide a place for displaced persons to regain a sense of social connectedness and to forge a plan for the future.

LeBor, Adam. "Letter from Zagreb." New Statesman & Society Feb 4, 1994, v7n288, p. 11

ABSTRACT: Many Croats are angry that 25% of Croatia is still occupied by rebel Serbs, despite the presence of UN troops. The participation of Croatian troops in the fighting in Bosnia is deepening the international isolation of Croatia and its leader, Franjo Tudjman.

Ledbetter, James. "Ted's modest proposal." Village Voice Oct 24, 1995, v40n43, p. 20-22

ABSTRACT: Ledbetter discusses a fictitious proposal by Ted Turner to incorporate the UN into the merger between Turner Broadcasting System and Time Warner. Viewed next to Time Warner's $18 billion debt, the UN's $3.4 billion back debt is actually quite modest.

Ledbetter, James. "What's wrong with this picture?" Village Voice Aug 8, 1995, v40n32, p. 9

ABSTRACT: The ridiculous idea that lifting the US arms embargo on Bosnia and removing the UN peacekeeping forces will solve the crisis in Bosnia is examined. Proponents of ending the arms embargo don't realize that the Serbs could further decimate the Bosnian army and then seize all the weapons designated for the Bosnians.

ABSTRACT: A new game-theoretic analysis of an ABSTRACT auction game that captures essential strategic aspects of escalation phenomena is presented. The dollar auction game casts two players against one another who can alternatingly bid for a prize of one dollar.

Leitenberg, Milton. "Rwanda, 1994 : International incompetence produces genocide." Peacekeeping & International Relations Nov 1994, v23n6, p. 6-10

ABSTRACT: The civil war in Rwanda and the UN's attempts at peace negotiations are discussed. The UN and the US' initial inaction and the lack of peacekeeping forces sent to Rwanda by the international community resulted in genocide.

Leng, Russell J. "Reciprocating influence strategies in interstate crisis bargaining." Journal of Conflict Resolution Mar 1993, v37n1, p. 3-41

ABSTRACT: The findings of a quantitative analysis of the effectiveness of reciprocating influence strategies in militarized interstate crises (MICs) suggest that the success of reciprocating strategies in MICs is related to withholding cooperative initiatives until after the reciprocating party has demonstrated resolve, the use of carrot-and-stick influence attempts and responses and overcoming ambiguity through over communication of intentions.

Leonard, David C. "Understanding and managing conflict in a technical communication department." Technical Communication Feb 1993, v40n1, p. 74-80

ABSTRACT: Conflict is defined, and various types of organizational conflict are discussed. Six keys to successful conflict resolution by the manager of a technical communication department are offered.

Leonard, David C. "Understanding and managing conflict in a technical communication department." Technical Communication 40(Feb. '93) p. 74-80

SUBJECT DESCRIPTORS: Technical communication--Personnel management.Myers-Briggs Type Indicator.Conflict management.

ABSTRACT: Technical communication managers should attempt to understand and properly manage conflict within their departments. According to Reitz (1987), conflict is a nonproductive disruption of everyday work patterns that results from individuals' or groups' inability to work together on a project or set of projects. Conflict can be intrapersonal, interpersonal, intragroup, intergroup, or interorganizational in nature and can be caused by differences in function, orientation, and perspective. Successful conflict resolution depends on building and sustaining relationships, pursuing a joint outcome, avoiding the fear of failure, knowing oneself and the parties in conflict, maintaining open lines of communication with the parties in conflict, and stressing mutual interdependence. Managers' reactions to external conflict, the positive and negative effects of conflict, and the ways that the various Myers-Briggs psychological types relate to conflict are discussed.

Leslie, Michael. "Conflict Resolution and the Prestige Press : El Universal and the Mexican Oil Crisis, 1938." JQ: Journalism Quarterly Spring 1991, v68n1-2, p. 224-229

ABSTRACT: A study finds some support for Galtung's theories of national press performance (1965) after a content analysis was done of a prestigious Mexican newspaper's coverage of the 1938 nationalization of foreign oil interests. The "El Universal de Mexico" at first retreated to a government-support position but within two months had regained a more independent stance.

Leung, Kwok. "Some Determinants of Reactions to Procedural Models for Conflict Resolution : A Cross-National Study." Journal of Personality & Social Psychology Nov 1987, v53n5, p. 898-908

ABSTRACT: Previous research has suggested that cultural collectivism may be related to styles of dispute processing. A study which examines this possibility with subjects from Hong Kong, Japan and the US is outlined.

Levin, Bob. "Division in the ranks." Maclean's v. 99 (Nov. 10 '86) p. 28-9

KEY WORDS: European Economic Community.Terrorism--Western Europe.Terrorists, Syrian.Sanctions (International law).France--Foreign relations--Syria.

ABSTRACT: At last week's meeting of the 12 European Community nations, France led opposition to a British plan to adopt diplomatic sanctions against Syria for its alleged role in the attempted bombing of an Israeli airliner in London last April. France's reluctance to adopt sanctions was surprising in light of the numerous bombings the country has endured over the past few months. The French position was further compromised by rumors that France had made a deal to sell weapons to Syria in return for Syrian influence in ending the wave of terrorism. A spokesman for the French government confirmed the sale of defensive material to Syria but denied any terrorism connection. The French need Syria's help in matters besides that of curbing terrorism: they wish to secure the release of seven French hostages in Lebanon and ensure the safety of French troops in the United Nations' peacekeeping force in Lebanon.

SUBJECT DESCRIPTORS: United Nations--Armed forces--Forces in the Persian Gulf region.Iranian-Iraqi War, 1980-1988--Peace and mediation.Canada--Armed Forces--Forces in the Persian Gulf region.

ABSTRACT: Canadian soldiers will play a key role in keeping the peace during the cease-fire in the Iran-Iraq War, providing a vital communications link between the front and United Nations posts in Tehran and Baghdad. While the two warring countries negotiate in Geneva, the United Nations Iran-Iraq Military Observer Group (UNIIMOG), consisting of 350 unarmed observers, will watch over the Iran-Iraq border. The 370-man Canadian communications unit will initially radio messages from the front to UN posts. Later it will lay telephone wire for more reliable communications. The assignment is tentatively expected to last six months.

Levy, Daniel S. "Why Johnny might grow up violent and sexist." Time v. 138 (Sept. 16 '91) p. 16-19

SUBJECT DESCRIPTORS: Boys.Masculinity (Psychology).Children--Management and training.Violence.Sex crimes.

ABSTRACT: In an interview, social philosopher Myriam Miedzian argues that boys in the United States are being raised in a culture that discourages nurturing, leading many of them to denigrate and sexually assault women. She discusses how sports influence men, how the violence that young boys watch on television and in movies affects them as they grow up, and what society and parents need to do to redefine masculinity. She maintains that young athletes who embrace the idea of winning at all costs often carry this view into their adult lives and into their relations with women. She believes that parents and educators should start pressuring schools to launch conflict resolution programs so that young people can learn that there are alternatives to violent behavior.

Lewin, David.; Schecter, Steven. "Four factors lower disability rates." Personnel Journal v. 70 (May '91) p. 99-101+

SUBJECT DESCRIPTORS: Insurance, Disability--Cost control.Workers' compensation--Cost control.

ABSTRACT: Researchers at the Columbia University Graduate School of Business examined the factors that affect workplace disability in a 1989 study sponsored in part by UNUM Life Insurance. The methods of inquiry used in the year-long study were research review, organizational case studies, and multivariate data analysis, in which data were obtained from 77 companies employing approximately 700,000 workers. As expected, the study found that such factors as industry group, occupational mix, age of the work force, and company size significantly relate to disability. However, the results also indicate that companies that have well-developed policies regarding the degree of employee involvement and participation, the extent and use of conflict resolution and grievance procedures, work force stabilization and continuity policies, and disability management are likely to experience lower rates of disability than comparable companies in their industry group.

Lewin, David.; Schecter, Steven. "Four factors lower disability rates." Personnel Journal Nov 1995, (Suppl.), p. 14-16

ABSTRACT: Four human resource policies can lower a company's disability rates. They include: the degree of employee involvement and participation, the extent and use of conflict resolution and grievance procedures, work force stabilization, and disability management exemplified by early supportive assistance.

ABSTRACT: (March 3) Kofi Annan, the Ghanian who heads the United Nations peacekeeping department, says that the UN will not be able to mount another peacekeeping operation if the lack of government support for such efforts continues. After phenomenal growth in UN operations since 1987, the peacekeeping division has been unable to grow further because of l
