The legal and moral legitimacy of intervention -- pt. 2. The empirical analysis. 330 $aThis Brief sheds light on the motivation of humanitarian intervention from a theoretical and empirical point of view. An in-depth analysis of the theoretical arguments surrounding the issue of a legitimate motivation for humanitarian intervention demonstrate to what extent either altruism or national/self-interests are considered a righteous stimulus. The question about what constitutes a just intervention has been at the core of debates in Just War Theory for centuries. In particular in regards to humanitarian intervention it is oftentimes difficult to define the criteria for a righteous intervention. More than in conventional military interventions, the motivation and intention behind humanitarian intervention is a crucial factor.   Whether the humanitarian intervention cases of the post-Cold War era were driven by altruistic or by self-interested considerations is a question is covered within and enables a comprehensive and holistic evaluation of the question of what motivates Western democracies to intervene or to abstain from intervention in humanitarian crises. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Ethics,$x2211-8101 606 $aHumanitarian intervention 606 $aHumanitarianism 615 0$aHumanitarian intervention. 615 0$aHumanitarianism. 676 $a341.5 676 $a341.584 701 $aKrieg$b Andreas$0788891 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910438326703321 996 $aMotivations for Humanitarian intervention$92530626 997 $aUNINA
