Explore the complex relationship between military intervention and democratic development with War and Democratization: Legality, Legitimacy and Effectiveness. Published by Routledge, this scholarly work examines the shift in international focus during the 1990s toward promoting democracy in post-war and post-conflict societies. This text analyzes how the international community engages in military humanitarian or peace-building missions. It looks closely at the legal and effective ways external actors participate in long-term state-building and democracy-building efforts. The book categorizes these interventions into specific modes, such as enforcing democratization through occupation or restoring elected governments through military action. Ideal for students, academics, and professionals in international law and political science, this book provides a deep look at the motivations and methods used by states when intervening in ongoing conflicts to build democratic structures. It offers a structured way to understand the legality and legitimacy of modern peace-building missions.
