Beschreibung

: El conflicto actual en Siria ha causado la muerte de más de 80,000 personas y ha desplazado a cuatro millones, y la mayoría de los observadores predicen que lo peor está por venir. Durante dos años, la comunidad internacional no ha tomado medidas. Los líderes mundiales han resuelto repetidamente no permitir que las atrocidades ocurran a la vista, pero el legado de la sangrienta y costosa intervención en Irak ha dejado a los responsables políticos con poco apetito por más operaciones militares. Este libro se centra en los dilemas éticos y políticos en el centro del debate sobre Siria y la posibilidad de una intervención humanitaria en el mundo actual.Los colaboradores, expertos en Siria, teóricos de las relaciones internacionales, activistas de derechos humanos y académicos de la intervención humanitaria, no siempre están de acuerdo, pero juntos representan el mejor pensamiento político sobre el tema. "The Syria Dilemma" incluye piezas originales de Michael Ignatieff, Mary Kaldor, Radwan Ziadeh, Thomas Pierret, Afra Jalabi y otros. EAN: 9780262026833 Tipo: Libros Categoría: Historia Título: The Syria Dilemma Autor: Nader Hashemi| Danny Postel Editorial: MIT Press Idioma: en Páginas: 304 Formato: tapa dura.

Inhaltsangabe

Can we stop the bleeding in Syria without its becoming another Iraq?

The United States is on the brink of intervention in Syria, but the effect of any eventual American action is impossible to predict. 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. The Syria Dilemma includes original pieces from Michael Ignatieff, Mary Kaldor, Radwan Ziadeh, Thomas Pierret, Afra Jalabi, and others.
