In order to achieve success, the intervening force must create a sense of legitimacy of the mission among the various constituencies concerned with and involved in the venture. These parties include the people of the host nation, the host government (whose relations with the local people must be legitimate), political elites and the general public worldwide--including the intervening parties' own domestic constituencies, who will sustain (or not sustain) the intervention by offering (or withdrawing) support. This book seeks to bring into close scrutiny the legitimacy of stability interventions in the post-Cold War era, by proposing a concept that captures both the multi-faceted nature of legitimacy and the process of legitimation that takes place in each case. Case studies on Liberia, Bosnia, Somalia, Rwanda, Afghanistan and Iraq explain how legitimacy related to the outcome of these operations. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will be of much interest to students of stability operations, counterinsurgency, peace operations, humanitarian intervention, and IR\/security studies in general.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Chiyuki Aoi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415559545\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415559546\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/17\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.40w x 0.90d","brand":"Chiyuki Aoi","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48136099102975,"sku":"9780415559546","price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_954b5608-0bce-46d7-af02-c942332a753e.jpg?v=1770160505","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/legitimacy-and-the-use-of-chiyuki-aoi-9780415559546","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
