Evolution: intervention and humanitarianism from collective security to peacekeeping -- After the cold war: a new world order? -- Sovereignty and community: a 'responsibility to protect'? -- Africa: post-colonial intervention amidst fragile statehood -- Humanitarian intervention and coercive action: the Balkans -- A model intervention? The birth of Timor Leste -- Is it worth it? Success and failure in UN intervention.
Explores the UN's track record of military action, from cold war 'brushfire' peacekeeping to the fractured globalisation of the contemporary world. The author assesses armed humanitarian intervention on a region-by-region basis, from the Balkans to Africa, 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. Case study chapters on sub-Saharan Africa, the Balkans and East Timor Confronts hard questions about the short and long-term value of these interventions.
