Lessons for the Responsibility to Protect

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book seeks to examine the effects of strategic framing in U.S. and UN policy arenas to draw conclusions regarding whether and how the human rights and humanitarian norms embedded within such frames resonated with decision-makers and, in turn, how they shaped variation in levels of political will concerning humanitarian intervention in three cases,Somalia, Rwanda, and Sierra Leone.
