Can Intervention Work? (Norton Global Ethics Series)

Can Intervention Work? (Norton Global Ethics Series)

Best-selling author Rory Stewart and political economist Gerald Knaus examine the impact of large-scale interventions, from Bosnia to Afghanistan.
â€œA fresh and critically important perspective on foreign interventionsâ€ (Washington Post), Can Intervention Work? distills Rory Stewartâ€™s (author of The Places In Between) and Gerald Knausâ€™s remarkable firsthand experiences of political and military interventions into a potent examination of what we can and cannot achieve in a new era of nation building. As they delve into the massive, military-driven efforts in Bosnia, Iraq, and Afghanistan, the authors reveal each effortâ€™s enormous consequences for international relations, human rights, and our understanding of state building. Stewart and Knaus parse carefully the philosophies that have informed interventionismâ€•from neoconservative to liberal imperialistâ€•and draw on their diverse experiences in the military, nongovernmental organizations, and the Iraqi provincial government to reveal what we can ultimately expect from large-scale interventions and how they might best realize positive change in the world. Author and columnist Fred Kaplan calls Can Intervention Work? â€œthe most thorough examination of the subject [of intervention] that Iâ€™ve read in a while.â€
