自冷战结束以来，美国和联合国都大力参与国家建设，并制定了自己独特的执行此类任务的方法。在其早期在索马里和南斯拉夫遭受广泛宣传的失败之后，联合国在国家建设方面的声誉受到严重损害，对其服务的需求也明显下降。最近，由于阿富汗和伊拉克的挫折，美国在该领域的能力声誉受到损害。兰德公司的一项新研究表明，联合国领导的行动往往比美国领导的行动规模更小、时间更短、成本更低，而且平均而言更成功。造成这种绩效差异的部分原因是美国主导的一些行动本身存在较大难度，但也是联合国在吸取经验方面取得更大成功的结果。
Since the end of the Cold War, the United States and the United Nations have both been heavily engaged in nation-building and have developed their own distinct approaches to the conduct of such missions. In the aftermath of its early and widely publicised failures in Somalia and Yugoslavia, the UN's reputation for competent nationbuilding was seriously damaged, and demand for its services fell off noticeably. More recently, the US reputation for competence in the field has suffered as a result of setbacks in Afghanistan and Iraq. A new study by the RAND corporation indicates that UN-led operations tended to be smaller, shorter, less expensive and, on average, more successful than those led by the United States. This divergence in performance can be explained in part by the greater inherent difficulty of some of the US-led operations, but is also a product of the UN's greater success in learning from experience.
