Abstract
Military intervention has emerge as one of the greatest challenges facing the West. The book explores how the West has has reacted to this challenge. In particular it examines the question of how military power has and might be used to help protect those who are in danger. It examines how force is used, the limits on the use of force, and how monitoring and verification of ceasefires can be effectively implemented to stop force being used. It also examines the political context in which force is used, including the Wests's intolerance for casualities, the role of the media and the gender dimensions of intervention.
