This book analyzes both NATO's and the EU's military crisis management operations and provides
an explanation for the fact that it is sometimes NATO sometimes the EU and sometimes both
international organizations that intervene militarily in a conflict. In detailed case studies
on Libya Chad Central African Republic and the Horn of Africa Claudia Fahron-Hussey shows
that the capabilities and preferences of the organizations matter most and the organizations'
bureaucratic actors influence the decision-making process of the member states.
