Book Review: Ethical dilemmas in humanitarian intervention

Read the latest review of Jonathan Parry‘s The Ethics of Humanitarian Intervention on the LSE Review of Books blog.

Jonathan Parry‘s The Ethics of Humanitarian Intervention examines the moral complexities involved when nations intervene in foreign states to protect civilians. Parry probes critical questions, from which human rights abuses in which contexts warrant interference to the effectiveness of different modes of intervention. According to Riti Kumari, Parry’s balanced, accessible approach and focus on human lives over abstract theory make this book a profound contribution to the scholarship.
