Rajan Menon

The Conceit of Humanitarian Intervention

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The Conceit of Humanitarian Intervention rejects, on political, legal, ethical, and strategic grounds, the widespread claim that military force can be used effectively-and on the basis of a universal consensus-to stop mass atrocities. As such, it is an against-the-current treatment of an important practice in world politics.
