This book reviews the global dilemma and tensions over whether to
intervene or not to intervene in severe civil conflicts which test
the validity of the new doctrine of Responsibility to Protect or
R2P. It particularly assesses R2P's relevance for Asia, which is
defined broadly in this book to include West Asia or the Middle
East and the region's emergence as the most severe threat to
international order in the form of the Arab Uprisings. While East
Asia and South Asia have their share of situations that warrant
R2P-justified interventions, it is the conflicts in West Asia that
have severely tested the viability of R2P. Has this new norm been
effective as a tool for international law and diplomacy? Are there
prospects for a tweaking or repositioning of R2P as advocated by
some scholars and governments to make the concept more acceptable
to the global community, including Southeast Asia? Has the
Westphalian doctrine of state sovereignty and non-intervention
become superfluous as a result of the rise of R2P? Will a new
doctrine of "Eastphalia" or "non-intervention with East Asian
characteristics" emerge in its place, led by China as well as
like-minded Asian and other states?
