SPECIAL ISSUE ON ETHICS AND THE USE OF FORCE AFTER IRAQ
 
Intervention after Iraq
 
Ending Tyranny in Iraq [Full Text] - 07/13/05
President George W. Bush surprised many observers in his second inaugural address when he promised to oppose tyranny and oppression, and this in a world not always willing or ready to join in that fight. Humanitarian intervention is again on the forefront of world politics.
Author(s): Fernando R. Tesón
 
 
Humanitarian Imperialism: Response to "Ending Tyranny in Iraq" [Full Text] - 07/13/05
Tesón's “humanitarian rationales” for the war in Iraq strain the traditional understanding of humanitarian intervention: The first, that the war was fought to overthrow a tyrant. The second, that it was a defense strategy establishing democratic regimes peacefully, but by force if necessary.
Author(s): Terry Nardin
 
 
Of Tyrants and Empires: Reply to Terry Nardin [Full Text] - 07/13/05
"If being a humanitarian imperialist means advocating that the hegemon use its might to advance freedom, human rights, and democracy, then I am a humanitarian imperialist."
Author(s): Fernando R. Tesón
 
 
Responsibility to Protect or Trojan Horse? The Crisis in Darfur and Humanitarian Intervention after Iraq [Excerpt] - 07/13/05
What does the world’s engagement with the unfolding crisis in Darfur tell us about the impact of the Iraq war on the norm of humanitarian intervention? Is a global consensus about a “responsibility to protect” more or less likely? There are at least three potential answers to these questions.
Author(s): Alex J. Bellamy
 
 
Toward a Realist Ethics of Intervention [Excerpt] - 07/13/05
"In this article, I explore the possibilities for developing a realist-informed normative framework for humanitarian intervention in the context of the post–September 11 international concern with transnational threats."
Author(s): Michael Wesley
 
 
Against the New Internationalism [Full Text] - 07/13/05
Burke sees the challenges facing international society after the invasion of Iraq: During global demonstrations against the war, a young woman stands against a row of police holding a placard upon which she has written a question: “Perpetual war for perpetual peace?”
Author(s): Anthony Burke
 
 
Against the New Utopianism: Response to "Against the New Internationalism" [Full Text] - 07/13/05
There is much that is interesting in Anthony Burke’s essay. Unfortunately, Burke is unable to resist hyperbolic language and too readily substitutes rhetorical onslaught for compelling argument.
Author(s): Jean Bethke Elshtain
 
 
For a Cautious Utopianism: Reply To Jean Bethke Elshtain [Full Text] - 07/13/05
Burke thanks Professor Elshtain for her response "and the editors for inviting me to make some clarifications and engage in what is emerging as a profound normative dispute about the underlying hopes and worldview of 'just war' thinkers and various post-Kantian tendencies."
Author(s): Anthony Burke

Neverending Wars: The International Community, Weak States, and the Perpetuation of Civil War [Full Text] - 07/13/05
It is about time someone reminded us that civil wars are not an entirely internal affair, that the international environment in which they occur matters too. Protracted conflicts, Hironaka argues, result from three factors: state weakness, the Cold War, and the international climate.
Author(s): Caty Clément
 
 
The World's Banker: A Story of Failed States, Financial Crises, and the Wealth and Poverty of Nations [Full Text] - 07/13/05
During James Wolfensohn's tenure, the Bank broke with a discredited history of structural adjustment, overcame resistance to facing critical issues of debt relief and corruption,adopted the language of participation and local ownership, and brought its critics into the discussion.
Author(s): Sebastian Mallaby, Peter Rosenblum
