The Purpose of Intervention: Changing Beliefs About the Use of Force (Cornell Studies in Security Affairs)

Rating:
Summary: The purposes of interventions clarify int'l society itself.
Review: One of the most unique and interesting point of this work is that the changing reasons and means of the past interventions could be a crucial key for understanding the changing characters of international society. In other words, for the analysis of the transformation of international society, the author examines why and how the past interventions have been altered. In this sense, the book is not only about intervention but also about the character and structure of international relations. Accordingly, a reader could use it in various ways. I think the book is a result of flexible thinking.
