Since the end of the cold war, a series of costly civil wars, many of them ethnic conflicts, have dominated the international security agenda.

The mixed record of partial successes, failures, and in some cases counterproductive interventions suggests an urgent need to extract lessons with a view toward developing a framework for making future policy choices.
