{"product_id":"gambling-on-humanitarian-intervention-alan-kuperman-9780415379465","title":"Gambling on Humanitarian Intervention: Moral Hazard, Rebellion and Civil War","description":"\u003cp\u003eDoes humanitarian military intervention save lives as intended? Or does it perversely embolden rebels and ignite the spiral of violence that it seeks to prevent? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSuch questions lie at the heart of a new and lively controversy in international politics. \"Gambling on Humanitarian Intervention\" explores whether the emerging norm of intervention backfires in conflicts such as Kosovo, exacerbating the ethnic cleansing and killing of innocent civilians. Leading academics investigate this problem, including when and where it is most likely to occur, and how to avert the unintended consequences without abandoning intervention. Sceptics weigh in as well, pointing out potential errors in blaming intervention for civil violence, and offering alternative explanations. Several authors conclude with prescriptions to ensure that future interventions mitigate violence, as intended, rather than tragically worsening it. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book was previously published as a special issue of \"Ethnopolitics\".\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alan Kuperman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415379466\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415379465\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/25\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 4\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.80h x 7.12w x 0.55d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2006 pg. 206","brand":"Alan Kuperman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48136080326911,"sku":"9780415379465","price":126.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8ec909a4-7ef2-4056-b2c1-cd50cf52814a.jpg?v=1770160379","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/gambling-on-humanitarian-intervention-alan-kuperman-9780415379465","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
