“…The divisions between the United Nations and the United States that became apparent during the administration of George W. Bush, over issues of rendition and the war in Iraq, had their origins, therefore, in the early years of the Clinton era. 61 "Peacekeeping is not at the center of our foreign or defense policies," 66 Anthony Lake asserted in February 1994, reversing the administration's initial policy.…”

Bill Clinton did not seek the presidency to initiate an activist foreign policy in the aftermath of the Cold War, but instead to champion domestic affairs and economic renewal. However, his foreign policy advisers entered office with their own, often differing, interpretations of the United States' position in the post-Cold War era. After the unity demonstrated by the Gulf War, the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations advocated a tactic of Assertive Multilateralism with which to provide international leadership. This acknowledged President George H.W. Bush's approach to foreign policy and was viewed as a way to reduce costs, casualties and American exposure in overseas deployments. Despite these hopes, Assertive Multilateralism did not prevail -why was this the case? Twenty years on, this paper analyses the concept of Assertive Multilateralism, and specifically, the challenges posed to its continued implementation by the Somali mission. The paper finds that unrealistic mission expectations, the prioritizing of domestic agendas, and an inability to control the mission narrative all contributed to cause a fundamental shift in the United States' implementation of foreign policy and raised doubts over its continued commitment to the United Nations. Ultimately, the events in Somalia ensured that foreign policy become a tool with which to attack an administration focused on domestic affairs and unwilling to expend political capital on overseas operations.2 Given the historic junction at which the Clinton Administration came to power it is surprising that more has not been written on its foreign policy initiatives. Nancy Soderberg noted in 2005 "no insider of the Clinton White House has discussed the broad challenges involving the use of force and diplomacy faced by the administration." Such a pattern continues, with no former Clinton official having adequately addressed the administration's development of foreign policy. Accordingly, the administration risks A Lost Opportunity : The Flawed Implementation of Assertive Multilateralism (...

“…The dramatic increase of academic interest in counterterrorism powers in the period since September 11, 2001, in particular, has been much discussed and well documented. 1 Journals such as this one have been at the forefront of debate on the use, effectiveness, and consequences of measures as disparate as counter-radicalisation initiatives, 2 drone strikes, 3 extraordinary rendition, 4 detention without trial, 5 sustained military campaigns, legal instruments, and beyond. Yet, while numerous attempts have been made to explore the effectiveness, compatibility, and legitimacy of such tools, 6 the power of proscription or the (black)listing of terrorist organisations-the focus of this Special Issue-remains curiously neglected, having attracted comparatively little scholarly attention to date.…”

This article serves as an introduction to this Special Issue on the banning or proscription of terrorist organisations around the world. It begins by arguing for greater attention to proscription powers because of their contemporary ubiquity, considerable historical lineage, implications for political life, and ambiguous effectiveness. Following an overview of the Issue's questions and ambitions, the article discusses five themes: key moments of continuity and change within proscription regimes around the world; the significance of domestic political and legal contexts and institutions; the value of this power in countering terrorism and beyond; a range of prominent criticisms of proscription, including around civil liberties; and the significance of language and other symbolic practices in the justification and extension of proscription powers. We conclude by sketching the arguments and contributions of the subsequent articles in this Issue.
