* Powerful, passionate and highly topical critique of humanitarian
intervention* International political theorist with eight
top-selling books"Whoever invokes humanity wants to cheat."In this
first time translation in English, Danilo Zolo considers Carl
Schmitt's maxim in the context of the "humanitarian war" waged
against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in the Spring of 1999 by
19 NATO countries. This erudite and disturbing book is a political,
legal and philosophical reflection on an extraordinary display of
Western Power and its present and future impact on the global
system of international relations.Zolo's account of the war is
located within the context of the irresistible drive of
globalization which he argues brings economic, financial and
military, ecological and ethnic-religious turbulence in its wake.
Not only the future of the Balkan region, he suggests, is at stake
here, but the fate of international law, the future role of the
United Nations and the political destiny of Europe.
