In the endless series of United States military interventions, the "humanitarian" bombing of Yugoslavia played a key role in gaining support of the centre left for war as an instrument of policy. The anti-globalization movement failed to grasp the implications of the aggressive military globalization pursued by the United States, from Iraq to Afghanistan and beyond.;In this study, Johnstone identifies the common geopolitical interests running through past, present and future military interventions. She argues that outside intervention creates rather than solves problems and cannot be justified. She highlights the continuities between the attacks on Yugoslavia and Kosovo, and the concerted campaign against other "rogue states", including Afghanistan. |
