In 1995, the Kroc Institute, University of Notre Dame, hosted the
first of the Theodore M. Hesburgh Lectures on Ethics and Public
Policy. At this inaugural gathering renowned author and
scholar Stanely Hoffmann delivered two lectures on the problems of
humanitarian intervention in international relations. This timely
volume presents Hoffmann’s lectures to a wider audience, together
with responses made at the conference by Robert C. Johansen an
James Sterba, and an introductory essay contributed by Raimo
Varynen, director of the Kroc Institute. In his first and premiere
lecture, Hoffman attacks from a theoretical perspective the
political, legal, and moral problems of outside intervention in the
affairs of a state. He analyzes the traditional principle, i.e.,
economic and environmental interdependence, human rights concerns,
nuclear proliferation, and the growing international consciousness
of the widespread dangers of domestic chaos. As a matter of
practical ethics in the “real world,” Hoffman proposes norms
and guidelines for controlled, impartial, collective intervention
and the enforcement which must accompany it. In his second
illustrative lecture, Hoffman delivers a stinging indictment of
international community in the case of the tragic disintegration of
Yugoslavia, which he uses as a case study to illustrate the failure
of collective intervention. In the responding essays, Johansen
presents guidelines for humanitarian intervention short of sending
in troops, and Sterba argues that Hoffmann’s basic norms can be
derived from Kant’s moral philosophy. Because Hoffmann’s
principles--and indictments--can be readily applied to other tragic
events and cases of international turmoil, The Ethics and Politics
of Humanitarian Intervention will be a valuable tool in the hands
of students and scholars of international relations.
