Keohane Robert. Humanitarian intervention

Cambridge: CUP, 2003. - 350 p."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.
