Recommendations for Regaining Legitimacy Summary This book describes the common pitfalls of U.S. military interventions in efforts at stabilization, which supports post-conflict societies by establishing stable governance, rule of law, a safe and secure environment, economic development and social well-being for all members of the population. These efforts are often unsuccessful and can even cause harm when mission teams do not understand both the populations with whom they are engaging and policymakers. The book recommends prioritizing a relational approach to stabilization with a professional and well-resourced Civil Affairs and strategic intelligence approach to engagements over the current preference for transactional, often lethal operations Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Online resource; title from PDF title page (EBSCO, viewed June 4, 2019) Subject Nation-building -- United States Postwar reconstruction.
