Does humanitarian intervention 'work'? Could it work better if
approached differently? Or should we just, in the words of one
critic, 'give war a chance'? Since the end of the Cold War and the
subsequent surge in civil and international conflicts, the UN has
been faced by an ever-increasing set of demands on its military
capacity. This book traces the evolution of its armed humanitarian
intervention from the grand ambitions for forceful collective
security through the 'brushfire' peacekeeping of the cold war years
to its engagement with the present globalised yet fractured world
order. Key Features Presents a concise analytical overview of the
theoretical, moral and practical issues Explores the general
setting of contemporary humanitarian intervention Assesses the
actual record of post-Cold War humanitarian intervention on a
region-by-region basis, from the Balkans to Africa and Southeast
Asia Compiles a balance sheet of success and failure in the UN's
efforts and confronts hard questions about their short and
long-term value
