274 p. ; 20 cm. Foley explores how the doctrine of humanitarian intervention has been used to allow states to invade other nations in the name of human rights. Drawing on his own experience of working in over a dozen conflict and post-conflict zones, he shows how the growing influence of international law has been used to override the sovereignty of the poorest countries in the world.
