TO TACKLE THE PROBLEM OF INTRASTATE CONFLICT CONSTRUCTIVELY MEANS RETHINKING THE DOCTRINAL FOUNDATIONS FOR INTERNATIONAL SECURITY RESPONSES GIVING MUCH GREATER EMPHASIS THAN HITHERTO TO PREVENTIVE, AS DISTINCT FROM CORRECTIVE, STRATEGIES; AND GIVING MUCH MORE SERIOUS AND SUSTAINED ATTENTION TO ORGANIZATIONAL REFORM, PARTICULARLY WITHIN THE UN. THIS ARTICLE OBSERVES THAT IN MID-1994, THE PATTERNS OF GLOBAL CONFLICT ARE DIFFERENT FROM THOSE OF THE PAST. WHILE THE RISK OF INTERSTATE WAR IS STEADILY DECLINING, THE REVERSE IS TRUE OF INTRASTATE WAR. IT ARGUES THAT THERE ARE SIGNS OF A CULTURE OF COOPERATION BEGINNING TO EMERGE.
