Content: Since the fall of the Soviet Union, there has been a shift from the two poles (U.S. and USSR)-bearers of basic ideologies to which the countries and peoples of the planet could refer-to the loneliness of the U.S. in expressing the one prassil of the market and privatization. But this is not felt to be legitimate. Therefore, new legitimacy and functions are attributed to international organizations, which are entrusted with the tasks of resolving crises and managing transitions, of intervening in any part of the world where there are crises, but for limited times.
The consequences are discussed here, both in terms of the spheres of intervention of these international organizations and the effects this has on national sovereignty. All this is developed under the banner of a new ideology, that of “international solidarity” and its new relationship to national sovereignty. The problem and the consequences of these changes are analyzed in the Yugoslav events in Kosovo, for which plans for conflict resolution in the short and medium term are also discussed. Contributing to the development of such a reinterpretation of “international solidarity” and “national sovereignty,” with reference to the events in Kosovo, are many scholars, politicians, diplomats, both Italian and foreign. The last part of the volume reports documents that mark the functional change and new interventionism of international organizations.
