How did this come about? And how did Kaldor reach the conclusions outlined in her seminal books? Melinda Rankin traces the evolution of Kaldor's work, revealing how her thinking developed from her years as an anti–Cold War activist and scholar in the 1970s-1980s, through her direct experiences of war in the Balkans and Caucasus, to her present support for rights-based international law enforcement to defend civilians from state and quasi-state violence.Political scientistsGreat BritainBiographyWorld politics1945-1989World politics1989-Human securityCivil societyGlobalizationPolitical aspectsIntervention (International law)Political scientistsWorld politicsWorld politicsHuman security.Civil society.GlobalizationPolitical aspects.Intervention (International law)327.092Rankin Melinda816996MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910164056603321The political life of Mary Kaldor2834362UNINA
