Beskrivning
Few topics generate as much controversy and debate as armed humanitarian intervention. Military force involves death and destruction, as well as interfering in other countries’ domestic affairs. But, crucially, non-intervention is also controversial. When confronted with humanitarian crises abroad, many feel that outsiders are not only justified in using force to halt the abuses, but that they must do so. The Ethics of Humanitarian Intervention: An Introduction offers a guide to these ethical debates.In clear and informative style Jonathan Parry explores the following topics:The morality of defending others, including the ‘responsibility to protect’ (R2P).State sovereignty and self-determination as barriers to intervention.The possibility of consensual intervention.Just causes for intervention: what kinds of human rights abuses warrant intervention?The effectiveness of intervention: does it work in practice?Alternatives to intervention, including aiding rebels, economic sanctions, and providing aid.Whether there is a duty to intervene.Examples of intervention – including the former Yugoslavia, Iraq, Liberia, and Libya – are used to illustrate the ethical dilemmas in question. The arguments of important theorists of intervention, such as John Stuart Mill, Michael Walzer and Jeff McMahan, are also explained clearly and critically. Each chapter concludes with questions for discussion and reflection. The Ethics of Humanitarian Intervention: An Introduction is ideal reading for students and researchers in philosophy, applied ethics, politics and international relations.Chapter 3 of this book is freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF at http://www.taylorfrancis.com under a Creative Commons Attribution (CC-BY) 4.0 license.

"No matter where one thinks one stands on the ethics of humanitarian intervention, Parry’s Introduction offers a superb compendium of reasons for readers seeking to clarify, and possibly revise, their stance on protecting human rights by military means." - Linda Eggert, Journal of Moral Philosophy"The Ethics of Humanitarian Intervention: An Introduction offers a lucid and tightly argued guide to the philosophical terrain behind these debates. It is a concise, clearly written book that will be extremely useful for students and scholars seeking an entry point into contemporary analytic discussions of the ethics of war and rescue." - Salvador Santino Regilme, Ethics & International Affairs"As one of the most innovative philosophers currently working on the ethics of war, Jonathan Parry is ideally qualified to introduce students and scholars to the ethics of humanitarian intervention. His outstanding book, The Ethics of Humanitarian Intervention, is concise, yet it takes in a wide sweep of recent debate. Despite its compactness, it makes very few sacrifices in coverage and precision, and it is thoroughly engaging throughout." - Christopher Finlay, International Affairs"This superb book offers not only an excellent, accessible, and comprehensive introduction to key issues in the ethics of intervention, but also important original analysis of those issues. The discussion throughout is admirably clear, engaging, and incisive. The result is a first-rate textbook that is also a valuable contribution to research on the ethics of war and peace." - Helen Frowe, Stockholm University, Sweden"In this important book, Jonathan Parry tackles the thorny issue of the ethics of armed humanitarian intervention. The result is an insightful read that covers the key issues in a comprehensive manner, all the while remaining accessible throughout. This book is a must read for anyone interested in the ethics of intervention, including political scientists, International Relations scholars, and philosophers." - Rita Floyd, University of Birmingham, UK"A fantastic book! Parry has done a terrific job in exploring the ethics of humanitarian intervention in a careful, precise, and thorough manner. The writing is clear and easy to follow. The chapters are detailed and cover the main challenges surrounding humanitarian intervention interestingly and diligently." - James Pattison, University of Manchester, UK"This book is an admirable, opinionated summary of contemporary discussions of the ethics of armed humanitarian intervention. Parry makes some original arguments while charitably discussing key scholars and their views. I recommend it to advanced students and scholars alike." - Eamon Aloyo, Leiden University, The Netherlands
