Abstract

This paper proposes a new analytical framework for a comprehensive and comparative study of international interventions by proposing a dynamic regime model of state-building interventions. Its aim is to outline a way to close certain gaps in the debate on interventions, particularly the fractured nature of many "lessons learned" and the neglect of intervention processes. In its first part, the paper explores the need for such a model in the context of our changing world order since the end of the Cold War. In its second part, the paper suggests that state-building interventions provide a useful new focus for the academic and political debate on international interventions. In its third part, the paper outlines a new analytical framework grounded in regime analysis. This new analytical framework not only includes a dynamic regime model which builds on pervious PIN research, but also proposes the concept of intervention capacity.
