In the aftermath of the Cold War there has been a dramatic shift in
thinking about the maintenance of peace and security on a global
level. This shift is away from a preoccupation with how to prevent
major wars between sovereign states to a preoccupation about
non-state transnational warfare and violence and strife within
states in a world order that continues to be juridically and
politically delimited by spatial ideas of national sovereignty and
national independence as signified by international boundaries. In
this book, Richard Falk draws upon these changes to examine the
ethics and politics of humanitarian intervention in the 21st
Century. As well as analysing the theoretical and conceptual basis
of the responsibility to protect, the book also contains a number
of case studies looking at Iraq, Afghanistan, Kosovo and Syria. The
final section explores when humanitarian intervention can succeed
and the changing nature of international political legitimacy in
countries such as India, Tibet, South Africa and Palestine. This
book will be of interest to students of International Relations
theory, Peace Studies and Global Politics.
