Items related to Humanitarian Military Intervention: The Conditions...
Humanitarian Military Intervention: The Conditions for Success and Failure is a thoughtful study of the conditions that determine if and how military intervention is a justified policy response to a humanitarian crisis in a foreign state. The book draws valuable lessons from case studies of operations in six countries that took place during the 1990s about how the prospects of success in a humanitarian military intervention can be evaluated-and how they can be improved. It also presents an original and comprehensive framework for defining and measuring success of past and future interventions, which centers on estimating the number of lives saved.
Humanitarian Military Intervention: The Conditions for Success and Failure is aimed not only at researchers on peace and conflict but also at policymakers, practitioners and anyone else struggling with the imperative-and the many dilemmas-of saving human lives from armed violence.

`Review from previous edition Seybolt rejects the majority of abstract, philosphical literature on the subject, to focus on real problems, faced by real practitioners both in theatre and in the halls of power. Military intervention in the name of humanity will remain a central policy challenge
in the near future, and Seybolt's work succeeds in providing valuable new insights for practitioners at both ends of the spectrum. [The] Interesting case studies are well researched and a pleasure to read.'
