Since 1989, the United States has embarked on numerous complex contingency operations overseas--especially in Somalia, Haiti, and Bosnia--requiring a high degree of coordination between the civilian and military sides of the operations.

Summary
The principles, values and manifestations of multilateralism, including the United Nations, are under sustained scrutiny and assault.
