Written under the auspices of the Center of International Studies, Princeton University

The U.S.-led intervention in Somalia that began with an airlift of food supplies in August 1992, soon followed by a substantial multinational military intervention in December 1992, was the most significant instance of peacemaking by the international community in the post-Cold War era prior to the deployment of the Implementation Force (IFOR) to Bosnia in early 1996. The heady promises of Operation Restore Hope and the subsequent bitter disappointments had a resounding and generally corrosive impact on the development of effective international policies and implementation plans for armed humanitarian intervention.

Although it may be an exaggeration to say that the fates of Kigali, Port au Prince, and Sarajevo were decided in the streets of Mogadishu, it is certainly the case that Somalia has had an unsettling effect on the policies of individual Western governments and the UN as they try to cope with the urgent, complex humanitarian emergencies around the world. However, it is doubtful whether the lessons so quickly promulgated from the Somalia experience were actually correct. Ironically, there were a variety of positive organizational innovations and operational lessons learned during the Somalia exercise that have not received nearly enough attention. Learning from Somalia is therefore critical if the world is to know how to better respond to the rising number of potential tragedies that now threaten humanity.

The chapters presented in this book represent a variety of perspectives and backgrounds, including those of humanitarian practitioners and academic experts on Somalia. The views expressed in this volume are the authors and do not necessarily reflect those of the organizations or agencies with which they are affiliated. The authors do not agree on every issue. Indeed, we deliberately solicited different viewpoints so that the debate over what happened in Somalia could be as comprehensive as possible. Only through such debate will better policy emerge.

Funding for this project was provided by the Ford Foundation, the Center of International Studies, and the Woodrow Wilson School of Princeton University. At Ford, Dr. Mahnaz Ispahani and her colleagues were exceptionally helpful in guidance and suggestions to make the book as useful as possible. We are also especially grateful to Professor John Waterbury of Princeton for his support for this project from the start.

Ambassador Robert Gosende, who served as special envoy to Somalia in March through October 1993, provided the initial inspiration for this project and helped us at every stage of the process. It was largely due to Bobs efforts that so many critical figures in the Somalia operations were enthusiastic about participating.

We owe special gratitude to Barbara Ellington, our senior editor at Westview Press, for her encouragement and support. No such volume can see the light of day without the assistance of many bright minds, sharp eyes, and precise editorial hands, and we especially thank copy editor Diane Hess and her colleagues at Westview for their patience and support.

Finally, we would like to express our gratitude to the dozens of officials who came to Princetonoften for the first time since they left Somaliato discuss an experience that was at times both professionally and personally dangerous. Here we must highlight the role of our Somali colleagues who made long and arduous trips to Princeton so that their unique perspective would be understood.
