OVERCOMING ANIMOSITY IN MULTINATIONAL COALITIONS

Cross-cultural conflicts are also addressed in a new report
published by the U.S. Army, which notes "an apparent increase
in anti-American sentiment expressed by and within" military
partners in multinational coalitions.

"If the Army is to be successful in its cooperation with other
countries' militaries, it is essential that it understand the
sources of the anti-Americanism as well as what can be done to
ameliorate those sentiments," wrote Zita M. Simutis, Chief
Psychologist of the U.S. Army in a foreword to the study.

Some of those sources of animosity, and proposals to address
them, are explored in "International Military Education and
Multinational Military Cooperation" by Charles Moskos, January
