The idea that states and the international community have a
responsibility to protect populations at risk has framed
internationalist debates about conflict prevention, humanitarian
aid, peacekeeping and territorial administration since 2001. This
book situates the responsibility to protect concept in a broad
historical and jurisprudential context, demonstrating that the
appeal to protection as the basis for de facto authority has
emerged at times of civil war or revolution - the Protestant
revolutions of early modern Europe, the bourgeois and communist
revolutions of the following centuries and the revolution that is
decolonisation. This analysis, from Hobbes to the UN, of the
resulting attempts to ground authority on the capacity to guarantee
security and protection is essential reading for all those seeking
to understand, engage with, limit or critique the expansive
practices of international executive action authorised by the
responsibility to protect concept.
