Opis

Past, ongoing, and impending humanitarian crises including those in Rwanda, Kosovo, Darfur, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Syria mean that dizzyingly difficult questions around the ethics and politics of humanitarian intervention (and the so-called Responsibility to Protect ) have, alas, never been more topical. Now, addressing the need for an authoritative reference work to make sense of a rapidly growing and ever more complex corpus of literature, Routledge announces a new title in its Critical Concepts in Military, Strategic, and Security Studies series. Edited by Alex Bellamy, Director of the Asia Pacific Centre for the Responsibility to Protect and Professor of Peace and Conflict Studies at the University of Queensland, Australia, Humanitarian Intervention is a four-volume collection which brings together the foundational and the very best cutting-edge scholarship to create a one-stop mini library of major works. Humanitarian Intervention is fully indexed and includes a comprehensive introduction, newly written by the editor, which places the collected material in its historical and intellectual context. It is an essential reference work and is destined to be valued by scholars and students of Military and Strategic Studies, International Relations, and War Studies as well as by policy-makers and practitioners as a vital research and pedagogic resource.
