Book Synopsis
In 2011, the United Nations Security Council adopted Resolution 1973, authorizing its member states to take measures to protect Libyan civilians from Muammar Gadhafi's forces. This title traces the relationship between sovereignty and responsibility from the early modern period to the present day, and offers a history with profound implications.

Trade Review
"Luke Glanville provides a powerful corrective to the literature that sees sovereignty-and particularly the right of nonintervention-as a static norm in international politics, showing that there has always been an inherent tension between rights and responsibilities and that the 'traditional' meaning of sovereignty became predominant only at the end of World War II. Well-written and deeply rooted in the relevant literature, Sovereignty and the Responsibility to Protect makes a valuable contribution to scholarship in international relations." (Stacie Goddard, Wellesley College)"
