<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>The question of when or if a nation should intervene in another country's affairs is one of the most important concerns in today's volatile world. Taking John Stuart Mill's famous 1859 essay "A Few Words on Non-Intervention" as his starting point, international relations scholar Michael W. Doyle addresses the thorny issue of when a state's sovereignty should be respected and when it should be overridden or disregarded by other states in the name of humanitarian protection, national self-determination, or national security. In this time of complex social and political interplay and increasingly sophisticated and deadly weaponry, Doyle reinvigorates Mill's principles for a new era while assessing the new United Nations doctrine of responsibility to protect.</p><p>In the twenty-first century, intervention can take many forms: military and economic, unilateral and multilateral. Doyle's thought-provoking argument examines essential moral and legal questions underlying significant American foreign policy dilemmas of recent years, including Libya, Iraq, and Afghanistan.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Michael W. Doyle </b>is a University Professor of Columbia University; is affiliated with the School of International and Public Affairs, Columbia Law School, and the Political Science Department; and was formerly Assistant Secretary-General and Special Adviser to UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan.
