Such problems need to be tackled with a vision that involved cohesion, organization, and discipline. The primary responsibility of the military is to provide a safe and secure environment for democracy and market economy development. The role of the military is essential, but not sufficient. Nation building should not be a pejorative term. Institutional development will not succeed without leaders.
Success requires engagement at both the national and international level.
Internal state building cannot be established independent of the international community. Emerging states need to be linked to the international community if they are to emerge as viable actors. Civilian support structures should better mirror those of the military. Civilian leaders should possess vision, responsibility, accountability, and authority. Until the civilian component develops the same capabilities with appropriate resources as the military, true peacekeeping will not be achieved because political, economic, and social development is a civilian task.
