Description
Cosmopolitan Dystopia: A Critical Analysis of Liberal Intervention. This book examines how liberal cosmopolitanism has led to a cycle of endless war, undermining state sovereignty and perpetuating humanitarian crises. Philip Cunliffe argues that the 'responsibility to protect' doctrine has created a paternalist understanding of state power, eroding the representative functions of state sovereignty. The legacy of liberal intervention is a complex one, marked by permanent war, insurrection by cosmopolitan jihadis, and a new authoritarian vision of sovereignty. This book provides a critical analysis of these developments, shedding light on the underlying dynamics that have shaped international relations in recent decades. Of interest to scholars and students of international relations, IR theory, and human rights, Cosmopolitan Dystopia offers a nuanced understanding of the challenges facing the liberal international order.
