ABSTRACT
Adelman, professor of Philosophy at York University, discusses, among other issues, the following: the defi nition of early warning, the symbiosis of early warning and confl ict management, problems inherent in early warning systems and related structural dimensions, lessons gleaned from the 1996 intra-state war and humanitarian crisis in Zaire, and the “labeling” of a crisis (lessons from the 1994 genocide in Rwanda).
