"Beginning with a discussion of new developments affecting sovereignty, intervention, geopolitics, and security in the evolving global environment, the author … examines how states have attempted to address them in significant historical cases: the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the intervention in Libya, non-intervention in Syria …the conflict in the former Yugoslavia, the Arab Spring. An innovative and important examination of the strategies required by states to defeat the threats presented by non-state actors, such as terrorist groups." —Joshua Sinai, Perspectives on Terrorism
