Women‐ChildrenProtection Cities
A Strategy for Nation‐Building
Version
1.0
The
idea
of
building
nations
from
failed
states
through
winning
hearts
and
minds
should
be
abandoned
as
beyond
the
reach
of
present
control
mechanisms.
The
paper
argues
for
the
idea
of
building
permanent
camps
for
women
and
children
which
could
form
the
core
of
new
states.

Introduction
Since
the
end
of
the
Cold
War
the
world
has
seen
multiple
attempts
to
use
varying
degrees
of
military
force
as
the
means
to
bring
stability
to
areas
plagued
by
severe
unrest
or
civil
war.
Efforts
basically
fall
into
two
categories:
peacekeeping
or
nation
building.
Peacekeeping
are
smaller
efforts
usually
performed
under
the
UN
umbrella.
Peacekeeping
is
of
limited
scope
but
is
frequently
deployed,
in
the
period
1948
‐
2009
there
have
been
a
total
of
63
UN
peacekeeping
missions.
Nation
building
efforts
are
larger
and
more
complex
operations
which
involve
not
just
keeping
and
preserving
peace
but
involve
putting
a
failed
state
back
on
its
feet.
Examples
are
Bosnia,
Afghanistan
and
Iraq
(Fukuyama,
2004).
The
scope
of
this
paper
mainly
concerns
the
operations
known
as
nation
building
while
the
described
practices
could
find
very
good
use
in
the
earlier
stages
of
peacekeeping
missions.
Presently,
the
results
of
nation
‐
building
usually
fall
much
short
of
expectations.
This
article
will
present
a
short
analysis
of
the
problems
associated
with
nation
building
before
describing
an
alternative
strategy
for
management
of
failed
states.
