Book Description
Rwanda, Iraq, and Kosovo have stimulated ethical, legal, and political debates about humanitarian intervention--the use of force to prevent grave violations of human rights without the consent of the target state. This comprehensive, integrated discussion by leading analysts addresses key questions, including: was NATO's action legal? If illegal, was it nevertheless ethically justified? What are the implications of the war against terrorism for humanitarian intervention? This will be valuable to students in law and political science, as well as anyone with a professional or research interest in humanitarian intervention.
Review
"No other volume on humanitarian intervention better showcases the diverse intellectual terms or political stakes currently in play." -- Foreign Affairs
"The papers in this volume offer an informative analysis of humanitarian intervention with real intellectual coherence. The interdisciplinarity of the contributions, the sensitivity to the phenomenon of weak states, and the recognition of the tensions between human rights and the war on terrorism, combine to make this book both timely and welcome." -- Charles R. Beitz, Department of Politics, Princeton University
"This is a powerful and satisfying book. This superb set of essays provides a way to integrate and synthesize approaches from international law, moral philosophy and politics into a framework to deal with such complex and shattering events as Rwanda, Kosovo and September 11." -- Antonia Chayes, Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University.
"Humanitarian intervention lies at the fault line between the international system's commitments to state autonomy and integrity and to the protection of human rights. These original essays are an important contribution to policy clarification and to scholarship." -- W. Michael Reisman, Yale Law School, Yale University
"This anthology should set a standard because of its comprehensive treatment of the subject--among the most current and most controversial in international law--and because of obstacles to agreeing about legitimate intervention. The contributors clearly explain why intervention remains an "imperfect duty". . . The relevance of the book to the post-Communist international order is hard to understate. . ." -- Library Journal
"Students of international law and international relations will find this collection particularly informative. [It] contains contributions by most of the leading scholars working in this field.... It would be difficult to find fault with this collection." -- The Law and Politics Book Review
"This is a thoughtful, scholarly collection of eight essays by prominent thinkers with diversified backgrounds in law, philosophy, and political science." -- Choice
