Nils Goede nutzt den Multiple-Streams-Ansatz, um die abweichenden Entscheidungen des Sicherheitsrats in den Krisen in Somalia und Ruanda zum Beginn der 1990er Jahre zu untersuchen. Das selektive Entscheidungsverhalten des Sicherheitsrats angesichts komplexer humanitärer Krisen wurde in der Forschung bisher nur bedingt thematisiert. Der Autor bezieht sowohl Prozesse der sozialen Konstruktion intersubjektiv geteilter Wirklichkeit als auch die instrumentelle Rationalität einzelner und korporativer Akteure systematisch ein. Er verdeutlicht, dass Mehrdeutigkeit die Entscheidungsprozesse im Sicherheitsrat prägt und zeigt auf, dass Entscheidungen nicht linear-kausal mit bestimmten Problemen verbunden sein müssen, sondern das kontingente Ergebnis des Zusammenspiels unterschiedlicher Faktoren sind.

Welchen Einfluss haben die Interessen einzelner Regierungsmitglieder auf die Formulierung der Mandate für Auslandseinsätze der Bundeswehr? Bei strukturalistischen Erklärungen deutscher Außenpolitik, z. B. auf der Grundlage des Rollenkonzepts der „Zivilmacht Deutschland“, geraten der Einfluss individueller Entscheidungsträger sowie innenpolitische Entscheidungsprozesse aus dem Blick. Dieser Band rückt hingegen die maßgeblichen Entscheidungsträger innerhalb der Bundesregierung (Bundeskanzler, Außenminister und Verteidigungsminister) und deren Zusammenspiel im Entscheidungsprozess in den Mittelpunkt der Untersuchung. Auf der Grundlage einer erweiterten Variante des von Graham Allison entwickelten „Governmental Politics“-Modells werden die regierungsinternen Entscheidungsprozesse zu Einsätzen analysiert, die während der „Großen Koalition“ unter Bundeskanzlerin Angela Merkel (2005-2009) neu beschlossen wurden. Hierzu gehören VN-geführte Missionen vor der Küste des Libanon (UNIFIL) und im Sudan (UNAMID) sowie EU-geführte Missionen in der Demokratischen Republik Kongo (EUFOR RD Congo) und am Horn von Afrika (Atalanta).
