The essence and assumptions of evaluation of crisis response operations

Abstract

<i>This paper includes discussions about the issue of evaluating CROs. They are an expression of the theoretical exploration of factors and criteria which may have a significant impact on such an evaluation. It should be noted that evaluation of CROs is an important and complex problem, because today, in the real environment dominated by conflicts and crises, there is a real need to involve some of the resources of third party countries to resolve tensions in unstable areas. The need for a response from multinational forces (national, alliance) is dictated by the dynamics of the changes taking place in the security sphere, the multi-dimensionality of crises and conflicts, and their unpredictability (Iraq, Afghanistan). Today it is emphasised that such a commitment will form the basis of future international relations.</i>
