This volume explores in a novel and challenging way the emerging
norm of the Responsibility to Protect (R2P), initially adopted by
the United Nations World Summit in 2005 following significant
debate throughout the preceding decade.
This work seeks to uncover whether this norm and its founding
values have resonance and grounding within diverse cultures and
within the experiences of societies that have directly been torn
apart by mass atrocity crimes. The contributors to this collection
analyze the responsibility to protect through multiple disciplines
philosophy, religion and spirituality, anthropology, and aesthetics
in addition to international relations and law to explore what
light alternative perspectives outside of political science and
international relations shed upon this emerging norm.
In each case, the disciplinary analysis emanates from the global
South and from scholars located within countries that experienced
violent political upheaval. Hence, they draw upon not only theory
but also the first-hand experience with conscience-shocking crimes.
Their retrospective and prospective analyses could and should help
shape the future implementation of R2P in accordance with insights
from vastly different contexts.
Offering a cutting edge contribution to thinking in the area,
this is essential reading for all those with an interest in
humanitarian intervention, peace and conflict studies, critical
security studies and peacebuilding.
