This three-part case study focuses on the internationalization of the ethnic conflict in Sri Lanka. What began as a national ethnic conflict between the majority group, predominantly Buddhist and Sinhalese, and the minority, predominantly Hindu Tamils became international. Part A analyzes the background to the hostility and discusses each of the major actors in the dispute. Part B describes the efforts at conflict resolution that have taken place since 1983, leading to the Indo-Sri Lankan Accords of July 1987 and the introduction of Indian troops into the island. Part C analyzes how those accords were implemented between July 1987 and January 1988. This case can be used as a role-play scenario, and can be paired with Case Study 334, “Tourism Development: A Path to Peace in Sri Lanka?”

This case study, created for the Carnegie Council on Ethics and International Affairs, addresses the practical and ethical questions that underlie U.S. decisions about intervening secretly in the politics of foreign countries. It focuses on the 1970 presidential election in Chile and the internal debate that led the Nixon administration to work behind the scenes to defeat the candidacy of Salvador Allende, a self-proclaimed Marxist. When Allende was elected, Washington stepped up efforts to cripple his government, which indirectly paved the way for General Augusto Pinochet’s September 1973 military coup.

This case study is designed to introduce students to aspects of the global environmental dilemma; basic attributes of the international economy that affect developing country debt, and the relationship between debt and environmental degradation in developing countries. It will familiarize students with an innovative and increasingly popular approach, debt-for-nature swaps, which promises to alleviate, if not eliminate, the debt burden and environmental pollution. This case uses the negotiation of such swaps to illustrate several fundamental concepts that apply to international negotiations, in general, and other international environmental negotiations, in particular.

During the 1980s, Africans became increasingly aware of the dumping of hazardous waste on their continent. Just as many African countries began calling for a ban on such trade, an illegal toxic dump was discovered in the small port town of Koko, Nigeria, in 1988. This case study describes the diplomatic pressure on Italy, the main source of the waste, from Nigeria and international environmental groups. It also describes how the Koko incident became a catalyst for the negotiations leading to the Basel Convention, an international treaty governing the transboundary movement of hazardous waste.

This case study describes Israeli interests and goals during the 1991 Gulf War and how these objectives informed its response to Iraqi missile attacks. It explains that Israeli interests were comprised of six guiding principles: the safety of the state and its citizens, the destruction of the Iraqi military machine, a stronger bond with the U.S., improved relations between Israel and the international community, maintenance of a credible deterrent, and a new postwar environment for considering the Arab-Israeli conflict. Students are asked to consider how these principles influenced Israeli decision-making during the Gulf War and whether Israel successfully carried out its objectives.

This case study describes the politics that surrounded U.S. decision-making in response to an attempt by the Soviet Union to build a submarine base at Cienfuegos, Cuba, in 1970. The narrative highlights the political moves by President Richard Nixon and National Security Adviser Henry Kissinger, who disagreed over how to respond to this event. It also tracks developments once the Soviet actions went public in the United States and discusses the political process by which situations come to be defined as a crisis or non-crisis, as well as the bureaucratic politics involved in the process. This case study would be particularly useful for courses on U.S. foreign and national security policy.

Focusing on the Kashmir Crisis of 1990, this case study asks students to analyze why the crisis occurred and how it was peacefully resolved. Toward that end, participants will assess how key factors, such as the role of leaders, domestic politics, and the burden of history, fit within a general approach to analyzing conflict. Though the study places the dispute in the context of the larger, protracted conflict between India and Pakistan, it also encourages students to consider what resolution Kashmiris themselves sought. This case was written to explore the 1990 crisis and how it was resolved short of war, helping students to understand how key factors, such as the role of leaders, domestic politics, and the burden of history, fit within a general approach to analyzing conflict.

The collapse of Yugoslavia in the early 1990s and the ethnic conflicts that followed presented the international community with a number of challenges. Perhaps the most critical was the provision of humanitarian relief to millions of displaced persons and refugees. This case study assesses the efforts of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees to intervene in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The case is designed to foster discussion of the current international organizational structure of humanitarian relief and assess its adequacy. It can be used in general international relations courses, as well as more specialized classes dealing with international organizations, humanitarian intervention, or ethics in international affairs.
