The West's Waning Enthusiasm for Humanitarian Intervention","description":"In 1999 various NATO powers bombed Belgrade and thus compelled Serbia to quit its Kosovan province to the delight of the KLA 'terrorist' group. Carried out without the approval of the UN Security Council, it marked a high-water mark in humanitarian interventionism. And it led some practitioners and many academics to conclude that the norms of the Westphalian system for conducting relations among sovereign states were under challenge as never before. But in this booklet it is argued that Westphalian norms are now back in fashion, as the enthusiasm for uninvited humanitarian intervention, with its echoes of 'high-minded imperialism', symbolised by Tony Blair's famous Chicago speech, no longer finds much favour - particularly so in the White House, where Barack Obama looks set on steering a markedly traditional, cautious and even conservative course.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Carlton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1907144048\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781907144042\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Forumpress\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/12\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 52\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.12d","brand":"David Carlton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48445845242111,"sku":"9781907144042","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_393a8aa6-bd0e-4045-b8a4-76aab3d14882.jpg?v=1777221017","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/back-to-westphalia-the-wests-david-carlton-9781907144042","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
