<p>This book develops a systematic understanding of the conceptual, ethical, political and theoretical dimensions of intervention in an empirical/historical context.&nbsp; More specifically, the book aims to provide advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students with a systematic and critical understanding of ‘intervention/non-intervention’ through examination of the doctrine's conceptual, theoretical and normative underpinnings; the theory and practice of intervention in different historical periods; and the notion of ‘intervention’ as a (problematic) mode of governance that raises important theoretical as well as practical issues given contemporary conditions of globalisation.&nbsp;</p><p>The book will focus primarily on the theory and practice of intervention as pertaining to the nexus between democracy/democracies and international society, but will extend beyond this core focus as appropriate.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
