The extent to which humanitarian intervention has become a legitimate practice in post-cold war international society is the subject of this book. It maps the changing legitimacy of humanitarian intervention by comparing the international response to cases of humanitarian intervention in the cold war and post-cold war periods. While there are studies of each individual case of intervention-in East Pakistan, Cambodia, Uganda, Iraq, Somalia, Rwanda, Bosnia and Kosovo-there is no single work that examines them comprehensively in a comparative framework.

Product description

Review

`Review from previous edition Saving Strangers is perhaps the best single book on the much debated topic of humanitarian intervention. Through a careful comparative analysis of the leading cold war and post-cold war interventions, Wheeler offers a penetrating account of the problems and prospects of armed humanitarianism. He also advances a provocative set of standards for evaluating interventions and explores both the role of norms and the nature of legitimacy in contemporary international society. And he does it all in a style that is at once scholarly and accessible. ' Jack Donnelly, Andrew W. Mellon Professor, Graduate School of International Studies, University of Denver `Nicholas Wheeler has produced a brilliantly sustained argument in support of an emergent norm of humanitarian intervention. This volume of scholarly excellence gracefully combines a powerful theoretical framework with a series of compelling case studies. Saving Strangers is the one indispensable book that addresses the contested topic of 'humanitarian' recourse to war. It deserves the widest possible readership so as to push academic understanding and policy debate in desirable directions. ' Richard Falk is Albert G. Milbank Professor of International Law and Practice at Princeton University `Wheeler's book is indispensable reading for anyone wanting to be introduced to the debate on HI. His attempt at developing a theory of humanitarian intervention is path breaking and will certainly open up a new phase of academic ' debate on the topic Journal of International Relations and Development 4/1 March 2001 `well organised, especially in terms of mastering the factual description as well as the application of theoretical analyses in the context of the eight case studies.
