Humanitarian Intervention and the United Nations

Autor Norrie MacQueen
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 feb 2011 – vârsta de la 22 ani
In "Humanitarian Intervention and the United Nations," MacQueen explores the UN's track record of military action, from cold war 'brushfire' peacekeeping to the fractured globalization of the contemporary world. He assesses armed humanitarian intervention on a region-by-region basis, from the Balkans to Africa, and the Middle East to Southeast Asia. Using empirical evidence, he compiles a 'balance sheet' of the UN's successes and failures and asks hard questions about humanitarian intervention's short and long-term value.

Recenzii

MacQueen's comprehensive analysis of UN military operations with humanitarian dimensions makes the case why the United Nations is the worst possible option for intervention, apart from all the others. A rare combination of rigorous history, in-depth analysis, and engaging prose. -- Prof. Thomas G.
