• Introduction: armed intervention and consent; 1. Intervention and the problematisation of consent; 2. Intervention by invitation: the expanding role of the security council; 3. Invitations to intervene after the Cold War: toward a new collective model; Conclusion: armed intervention and consent: half-hearted multilaterisation of a unilateral doctrine.

'This new addition to the Max Planck Trialogues series on the Law of Peace and War is both significant and timely. Corten, Fox and Kritsiotis provide a commendably comprehensive and measured treatment of what has until recently been a relatively overlooked topic of academic interest, but one with real world importance.'
