Description

Product Description Does humanitarian military intervention save lives as intended? Or does it perversely embolden rebels and ignite the spiral of violence that it seeks to prevent? Such questions lie at the heart of a new and lively controversy in international politics. "Gambling on Humanitarian Intervention" explores whether the emerging norm of intervention backfires in conflicts such as Kosovo, exacerbating the ethnic cleansing and killing of innocent civilians. Leading academics investigate this problem, including when and where it is most likely to occur, and how to avert the unintended consequences without abandoning intervention. Sceptics weigh in as well, pointing out potential errors in blaming intervention for civil violence, and offering alternative explanations. Several authors conclude with prescriptions to ensure that future interventions mitigate violence, as intended, rather than tragically worsening it. This book was previously published as a special issue of "Ethnopolitics". Review "The studies in this volume help us understand the dynamic background of domestic wars, wars of secession, politicides, and genocides. They serve as a useful corrective to media treatments of these issues, treatments that are often oversimplified in their haste to classify perpetrators and victims. The arguments in the seven essays of the volume are compelling, often relying on close examination of assumptions and the empirical evidence. A scientific enterprise, depending upon carefully marshalled evidence and rigorous logical analysis, helps to move us away from the rather mushy literature tha has been the hallmark of the humanitatian intervention discourse to date...The authors of this volume have made a major contribution in showing the way forward to a more reliable understanding of rebellions, wars, politicides, and genocides." -Kalevi J. Holsti, Journal of Genocide Research
