Book Reviews of Beyond Westphalia?: National Sovereignty and International Intervention
Book Review: Worthwhile and Informative
Summary: 5 Stars
International intervention made interesting! I highly recommend this book. It's a page-turner rivaling novels, yet with pragmatic significance and impact. The book covers aspects of intervention ranging from weapons of mass destruction to environmental catastrophe and human rights. When is one nation justified in their interference in another's domestic affairs? Does state sovereignty take precedence, or the global community? This book answers these questions and much more. All aspects are considered, from globalism and globalization to national autonomy. For its thoroughness and superb analysis, I rate this book five stars. Drawbacks? None, unless you're simply not interested in the topic (however, I recommend it even to the skeptic). Kudos to Lyons and Mastanduno for compiling such a masterpiece.
Summary of Beyond Westphalia?: National Sovereignty and International Intervention
Under the Westphalian system of international order, each nation is understood to be sovereign and its borders are seen as inviolate. But with the emergence of worldwide problems and the increasing interdependence of nations, it is clear that what happens (or does not happen) in one country can have seriousrepercussions elsewhere. Beyond Westphalia? brings together a distinguished group of scholars to explore the question of whether recent political changes have shifted the balance between the sovereign rights of states and the authority of the larger international community.
