About this book

This book examines humanitarian interventions in the post-Cold War era in the context of the development of global capitalism. It argues that it is often our duty to use force to uphold human rights, but that attempts to promote and protect these rights can unintentionally contribute to the perpetuation of poverty and poverty-related problems.

About the author

IVAN MANOKHA is Head of Masters in International Affairs, Institut d'Etudes Politiques, France. His research interests include the historical development of the concept of human rights and its relationship with capitalism, the Just War Theory, humanitarian intervention in the late-modern global political economy, and business ethics.
