It can be characterized by the diverse nature of the participating entities and the heterogeneous complexity of their interactions. These aspects violently surfaced during the civil war that lasted for almost two years, from 1998 to 1999. One of the major frameworks for viewing and analyzing the conflict, as well as one capable of seeing to its ultimate resolution, appears to be an assessment of the issues through the conceptual lens of “stakeholders.” This focuses on the specific investments or “stakes”—be they economic, ethnic, historic, or cultural—that each of the participants “holds” in generating the scene of the conflict. This lens provides a significant focus, and is one of the more important research methods employed within the domain of strategic analysis.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>6</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Katariina Simonen</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Operation Allied Force: A Case of Humanitarian Intervention?</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Athena Papers</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Federal Republic of Yugoslavia</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">humanitarian intervention</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">international law</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kosovo</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">NATO</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Operation Allied Force</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2004</style></year></dates><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Partnership for Peace Consortium of Defense Academies and Security Studies Institutes</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Garmisch-Partenkirchen</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">144</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The NATO Operation Allied Force against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia is highly relevant to the question of the legal assessment of humanitarian intervention. Not only can the current state of law be identified through the various phases of the Operation; the campaign also provides a significant impetus for the development of future law. This study focuses on the question of the intervention threshold: what are the conditions that must exist for the right to intervene to be exercised? In this vein, the facts of the Kosovo case before the intervention are laid out, complemented by a discussion of the law on the recourse to force. Thereafter, the law is applied to the facts.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Todor Koburov</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Information Support for Decision-Making during the Kosovo Crisis</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Information &amp; Security: An International Journal</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">C3</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">crisis management</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kosovo</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Situation Center</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2000</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2000</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">86-93</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The 1999 Kosovo crisis provided impetus for establishing and networking situation centers within the Council of Ministers, the Ministry of Defense and other state institutions in Bulgaria. Organizational and technological approaches were implemented to turn the network of situation centers into a valuable tool for information processing, consultations, and crisis response management at governmental level. This article describes the establishment and the functioning of the Situation Center at the Ministry of Defense during the Kosovo crisis, its interaction with related organizations, and provides recommendations for further improvement of the information support for crisis management.</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
