- This output presents the first book-length explanation of the United Nation’s politics of selective humanitarian intervention. It presents a new theory that centers on the interplay of norms, material interests, and institutional effects to account for why the UN intervenes in some humanitarian crises but not others. To test the theory, the book analyses a large body of primary and secondary sources, including characteristics of more than 30 humanitarian crises after 1990. Given the wealth of sources used in the book, it comes with an online appendix that is available on the Springer Extra Materials Archive.
