After the Call for Help: Systemic Constraints for
Conflict Management in Contemporary International Politics
----------------------------------------------------------
In order to "save succeeding generations from the scourge of war"
national leaders in 1945 established a structure for a series of
collective security-seeking practices - the United Nations System.
This structure has had a debateable effect in providing security
over the last fifty years. With the increased use of the organization,
the search for the development of conflict early warning systems,
and the heightened political visibility of preventive diplomacy,
another, perhaps more important, factor needs to be assessed:
What happens once a "call for help" is made? The process of agenda
setting within the United Nations system for conflict management
since 1945 provides striking evidence about the constraints for
joint action in providing system-wide management assistance.
