Multilateral diplomacy and conflict resolution
Article Abstract:
The case studies of the Baltic states and the Balkan disaster show the importance of multilateral diplomacy as an effective tool for resolving international conflict. Timely action, a sense of urgency, clarity of purpose, involvement of an institution in which all parties are members, and leverage are important factors for a successful multilateral diplomacy. Military force can be more effectively used in multilateral diplomatic efforts as a threat. Use of deterrence as a strategy is recommended.

East Asia's defense industries are becoming increasingly commercialized and civilianized, with the government having a declining influence on arms production.
