About this title

Review:

"Christina Gabriela Badescu’s work provides a meticulous analysis of the debate over humanitarian intervention and the Responsibility to Protect. The author takes the reader by the hand and carefully walks them through the subject matter. From this, a systematic, step-by-step analysis is developed, which provides an accomplished overview of the issues involved. [...] the volume provides a superb over-view and is a book that I recommend strongly to those both familiar and unfamiliar with all things R2P." – Adrian M. Gallagher, University of Leicester, Political Studies Review, Vol 10:3, Sept. 2012

"[A] solid, educational contribution to the burgeoning literature on the theory and practice of the responsibility to protect (R2P) doctrine... Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above."--P. J. Stoett, CHOICE (February 2012)
