"What qualities make an ally useful in coalition warfare, and when is an ally more
trouble than its worth? This book analyzes the utility of junior partners in coalition
warfare and reaches surprising conclusions. Olivier Schmitt conducts detailed case-study
analysis of several US allies in the Gulf War, the Kosovo campaign, the Iraq War,
and the war in Afghanistan. He also does a broader analysis of 204 junior partners
in various interventions since the end of the Cold War. Schmitt aims to bridge a gap
in previous studies about coalition warfare, while also contributing to policy debates
about a recurring defense dilemma. Previous works about coalition warfare have focused
on explaining how coalitions are formed, but little attention has been given to the
issue of their effectiveness. At the same time, policy debates, have framed the issue
of junior partners in multinational military operations in terms of a trade-off between
the legitimacy that is allegedly gained from a large number of coalition states vs.
the decrease in military effectiveness associated with the inherent difficulties of
coalition warfare. Schmitt determines which political and military variables are more
likely to create utility, and he challenges the conventional wisdom about the supposed
benefit of having as many states as possible in a coalition."
