The Syrian conflict has killed more than 100,000 people and displaced millions, yet most observers warn that the worst is still to come. And the international community cannot agree how respond to this humanitarian catastrophe. World leaders have repeatedly resolved not to let atrocities happen in plain view, but the legacy of the bloody and costly intervention in Iraq has left policymakers with little appetite for more military operations. So we find ourselves in the grip of a double burden: the urge to stop the bleeding in Syria, and the fear that attempting to do so would be Iraq redux. What should be done about the apparently intractable Syrian conflict? This book focuses on the ethical and political dilemmas at the heart of the debate about Syria and the possibility of humanitarian intervention in today's world. The contributors--Syria experts, international relations theorists, human rights activists, and scholars of humanitarian intervention--don't always agree, but together they represent the best political thinking on the issue."--Publisher's description. 410 0$aBoston review book. 606 $aPeace-building$xInternational cooperation 607 $aSyria$xHistory$yCivil War, 2011- 610 $aSOCIAL SCIENCES/Political Science/General 615 0$aPeace-building$xInternational cooperation. 676 $a956.9104/2 702 $aHashemi$b Nader$f1966- 702 $aPostel$b Danny 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790419503321 996 $aThe Syria Dilemma$93687334 997 $aUNINA
