America's three most recent wars-in Kosovo, Afghanistan, and Iraq-have raised profound questions about when to use military force, for what purpose, and who should make the decision whether to go to war. These crucial questions have been debated around the world with increasing intensity, and by beginning to provide important answers, Beyond Preemption moves the debate forward in significant ways.
Ivo H. Daalder is a senior fellow in Foreign Policy Studies and the Sydney Stein Jr. Chair in International Security at the Brookings Institution. He is the coauthor, with James M. Lindsay, of America Unbound: The Bush Revolution in Foreign Policy (Brookings, 2003) and the coauthor of Winning Ugly: NATO's War to Save Kosovo (Brookings, 2001), written with Michael E. O'Hanlon.
"Preempting other publishing houses (as well as the UN) the Brookings Institution has served up a feast for both student and policymaker alike to digest....A definited gem in indefinite times." -Lee P. Ruddin, The Law and Politics Book Review, 8/1/2007 |"Daalder has edited a book noteworthy for its balanced presentation of the ethical and practical considerations for and against the preemptive use of forces by a single state or by the international community, particularly when authorized by the UN Security Council." - CHOICE
