  “25th Anniversary of the Falkland Islands Conflict: Imperial Legacy or Peacekeeping Prophecy?”
■ 概要
  There have been a variety of opinions regarding the significance of the 1982 Falklands Conflict. These range from the effect of wars upon domestic politics, through to the reinforcement of international law. It has been used as an example of the ineffectiveness of the United Nations, how nations could and should act unilaterally for liberal goals, and how military capabilities require nurturing. Dismissed by some as a legacy of empire, the British military victory overshadowed deep deficiencies in British policymaking and administration that have not been effectively resolved 25 years later, and the failure to learn many of the lessons of the conflict has encouraged national leaders to overly rely upon military solutions to complex international problems. The Falklands Conflict, does, however, contain many lessons for the conduct of both diplomacy and military operations in the 21st century. It demonstrated the need for seamless coordination of political, diplomatic, and military doctrines and planning, the value of formal and informal alliances and relationships, and how extended expeditionary operations are difficult to extemporize and stretch military capabilities to breaking point. While the British were slow to learn the lessons of their own experience, it was the Falklands Conflict that encouraged many nations to think beyond the‘single scenario’Cold War defence plan and establish expeditionary capabilities that would be most fully utilized not in conflict but in peace, as the core of‘full spectrum peacekeeping.’
