“…According to a government report from Argentina, "this force would adopt the SHIRBRIG model, which is the only brigade-size force operationally available and in a position to provide the UN with rapid reaction capabilities according to the Brahimi report" (Observatorio de Políticas Públicas de la Jefatura de Gabinete de Ministros, 2007, p. 13). Interestingly enough, the concept of SHIRBRIG (1997)(1998)(1999)(2000)(2001)(2002)(2003)(2004)(2005)(2006)(2007)(2008)(2009) has lost a great deal of its relevance in the countries of origin due to political difficulties concerning the ideas of "rapid reaction" and "high readiness" (Reykers & Karlsrud, 2017). In democracies, every deployment of troops abroad requires extensive negotiation at the political-military level and in parliament, which is not conducive to the ambition to respond quickly.…”

In the 21st century, three international military organizations with standing headquarters in the Global South have emerged in the field of military operations. These are the Southern Cross Peace Force in Latin America, the Africa Standby Force, integrating five subregional African forces, and the Peninsula Shield Force in the command structures of the Gulf Cooperation Council countries. This article examines interorganizational differences and similarities in these three important cases, aiming to provide a deeper understanding of their organizational forms within the global diffusion phenomenon of multinational military cooperation. The article uses a novel comparative framework that bridges a gap in systematic studies of multinational military organizations. It aims to provide a gateway for theoretical growth now and for future studies, in the Global South and elsewhere.

“…So, the first step in the next generation of research is to consider whether the lessons in this work apply to other multilateral efforts, including United Nations peacekeeping missions or operations under the auspices of regional organizations such as the European Union or the African Union (cf. Reykers & Karlsrud, 2017).…”

Today, few countries fight alone; most fight as allies or partners in multilateral campaigns. The end of the Cold War opened a window of opportunity for multinational military operations (MMOs). These have seen varying degrees of participation, enthusiasm, and success. This special forum is devoted to the politics of multilateral warfare including their formation, maintenance, and durability. The introduction sketches past research and derives some key questions of continuing relevance. The contributions shed light on the domestic and international politics of MMOs, focusing on the implementation of national restrictions and their repercussions for MMOs, party politics of military intervention, the conditions under which states decide to defect from military operations, and the role of junior partners in MMOs. In sum, this forum offers a fresh look at the politics of MMOs, including conceptual contributions to the study of national restrictions, domestic constraints, and coalition warfare.One country may support another's cause, but will never take it so seriously as it takes its own. A moderately-sized force will be sent to its help; but if things go wrong the operation is pretty well written off, and one tries to withdraw at the smallest possible cost. (Von Clausewitz, 1984 [1832

“…This edited volume started from the puzzling observation that despite this operational near-standstill, there have been few efforts undertaken to date to bring together insights on the obstacles to deployment and to compare between these organizations. 1 Neither has there been much scholarly attention to issues of inter-organizational cooperation and competition in the field in this increasingly institutionalized domain of military rapid response. This is clearly a missed opportunity, both in terms of cross-learning for overcoming shared obstacles and for assessing the future of military rapid response.…”
