Summary
David Gibbs: The Humanitarian Destruction of Yugoslavia
Professor David Gibbs from the University of Arizona in his geopolitical discussion The Humanitarian Destruction of Yugoslavia, considering American interventions in the Balkans, strongly attacks American militarism and expansionism. His basic assumption is that the aggressive American policy, which until 1989 was justified by the threat of the Soviet Union, did not change after the end of the Cold War, and that, on the contrary, it became even more aggressive. Civil conflicts in Yugoslavia were used by American strategists to find a new, post-Cold War, justification for the existence of the NATO alliance (which is otherwise a par excellence Cold War creation) as well as to maintain the level of state expenditures for the army and armaments. Thus, Gibbs showed how humanitarian interventions in the Balkans helped establish new, completely artificial reasons for militarism. The Yugoslav case served to view US interventions as benevolent, even altruistic, and this proved useful for justifying almost all American international actions. Professor Gibbs argued all his claims using numerous sources: from newspaper articles, through testimony at the Hague Tribunal, biographies of the main participants in the tragic events in the Balkans from the end of the 20th century, public reports of Western governments as well as numerous other testimonies.
