"This excellent book provides a robust and thorough introduction to humanitarian intervention. The coverage is comprehensive, insightful, and clear, and is strengthened in this new edition with interesting and provocative discussions of the R2P and Libya." - James Pattison, Senior Lecturer in Politics, University of Manchester, UK "The second edition of this thoughtful and thought-provoking book presents an accessible and engaging introduction to the key issues involved in humanitarian intervention. It will not end debates over this important subject, but it will ensure that those debates are better informed." - Simon Chesterman, National University of Singapore, and author of Just War or Just Peace?
