ABSTRACT
A 25-year retrospective analysis of these decidedly post-Clausewitzian efforts, from Somalia and Rwanda to the present, alongside the growth (after the Rwandan failures) of the so-called “R2P” movement itself. This chapter criticizes the latter as an exclusively diplomatic and legal effort, well-intentioned but ham-handed, that ignored the experiences and lessons of social science gained by military personnel and their leadership through harsh experience in attempting such missions.
