Sommario/riassunto

A comprehensive presentation of humanitarian intervention in theory and practice during the course of the 19th century. Through four case studies, it sheds new light on the international law debate and the political theory on intervention, linking them to ongoing issues, and paying particular attention to the lesser known Russian dimension.
