Description: FREE SHIPPING UK WIDE Rethinking Humanitarian Intervention by Alex J. Bellamy, Stephen McLoughlin This major new text by leading experts in the field re-examines the traditional understanding of humanitarian intervention in the wake recent high-profile interventions in Iraq, Libya and Syria. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Two leading experts in the field re-examine the traditional understanding of humanitarian intervention in this major new text. The recent high-profile interventions in Iraq, Libya and Syria show the various international responses to impending or ongoing humanitarian crises, tracking the development from ad hoc military interventions to a more formalised international human rights regime. This evolution has fundamentally changed the way that states and international society think about, and respond to, atrocities. This textbook charts and explains the transformation, examines the challenges that confront it, and asks whether this new politics can withstand the growing crises in international politics. The human protection system is not perfect, but attempts to reduce both the incidence and lethality of atrocity crimes.The authors argue that armed intervention alone is rarely sufficient to halt humanitarian atrocities, but must be understood within the wider context of peacemaking, including non-violent action. The requirement for states to intervene is codified in international law, and this raises important practical, political and moral questions for consistent humanitarian action.Based on the authors two decades of research, this text is the ideal companion for students of International Relations, taking modules on Humanitarian Intervention and the Responsibility to Protect at undergraduate and postgraduate levels.

Emerging norms of human protection, which have their roots in the 1990s but have become more prominent since the turn of the century, have changed international practices and debates about how international society should respond to the problem of genocide and mass atrocities. Assuming no prior knowledge, and written for students and general readers as well as practitioners and scholars, this important new book by a leading expert addresses a range of key challenges in the wake of the experiences of Iraq, Libya and Syria including the consistency, efficacy and accountability of intervention, and whether regime change and unilateral intervention are ever justified.
