| Summary |
The question if states should intervene in massive humanitarian emergencies without a legal right to do so, is still object of an important debate in the theory and practice of international relations. This situation has not changed with the emergence of the 'Responsibility to Protect' norm, which stopped short of a right to intervene without a Security Council authorisation. The book assesses the impact of such unauthorised humanitarian interventions on international society and regions; it is written in the context of the English School of International Relations. Based on empirical studies the author argues that they can be progressive-constructive for international order, if conducted with explicit legitimacy, integrity, and great power participation. The argument is based on the analysis of six cases conducted between 1946 and 2005. Specific consideration is given to the cases of Liberia (1990) and Kosovo (1999). In sum, the book contributes to the solidarism-pluralism debate and the discourse on humanitarian interventions. About the Author: Christian Pohlmann is Lecturer (Lehrkraft für besondere Aufgaben) at the Institute of Political Science at the University Duisburg-Essen, Germany. He researches on the English School of International Relations, humanitarian interventions and R2P, international law, and terrorism |
