Abstract

The main political feature of the Iraq war was the high level of disunity and the lack of political consensus that prevailed among the countries involved. This climate, strained by mutual suspicions and recriminations, can turn into a snowball, unless preventive diplomacy prevails that aims to articulate governments, public opinion, States, and formal and informal organizations. This article points out this problem and, based on that reality, suggests some alternatives to improve the system in order to increase the levels of cooperation in the field of international security.
