Doing
Good and Doing Well : An Examination of Humanitarian
Intervention
by
Stephen A. Garrett
From the USA angle. Analysis
and focus on the moral duties that individuals within the international
community have towards the welfare of others. Events have indicated
that humanitarian intervention is likely to play a larger role in
international relations in the future. Examples in the contemporary
period include Somalia, Liberia, Haiti, the Kurds in Iraq, Uganda
and East Pakistan. This text emphasizes the role of the United States
in humanitarian intervention and argues that increased American
involvement is essential. Individual topics include assessment criteria
for the moral legitimacy of intervention, unilateral versus multilateral
efforts. This work also focuses on certain themes and patterns in
humanitarian intervention, which are then illustrated using historical
data from a variety of different examples.
