Description
The global changes of the early 1990s, resulting from the end of the Cold War, initially appeared to present unparalleled opportunities to advance the West’s agenda of widespread liberal democracy. Thirty-five years later it is clear that it is unrealistic to hope that liberal peace and progress can be extended to the entire world - conflicts will continue in areas where states are weak. However, local and hybrid approaches do offer new perspectives and new opportunities but are no panacea, and, definitely, they do not deliver liberal aims under other guises. By examining what went wrong in liberal intervention in Somalia we can start to learn how to avoid making the same mistakes again.
About Colin D. Robinson

Dr Colin D. Robinson lectures on War Studies at Cranfield University, Shrivenham.
His research centres on the strategic challenges and opportunities for OECD states’ defence aims and programmes in the remainder of the world, as well as the history of African armies, the African Standby Force, military command and control, and New Zealand defence issues.
He has recently been focused on how liberal ideology, liberal ideas, at the highest levels, both help and impede OECD progress in building partner armies, notably in Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, and for Liberia, where he did his doctoral fieldwork.
He sits on the editorial boards of Defence and Security Analysis and the Journal of Central and Eastern European African Studies. He spent much of 2020-22 teaching on military decisions and strategy for the eSchool of Professional Military Education, USAF Air University. He previously worked for the United Nations in Georgia, Liberia, and New York.
Colin Robinson completed his doctorate in 2012, worked for the University of Liberia 2016-17, and was a Visiting Lecturer at the Centre for Defence and Security Studies, Massey University in 2018.
