Description
Humanitarian Violence: The U.S. Deployment of Diversity explores how the United States has used its military power to promote democracy and human rights in various parts of the world. Neda Atanasoski examines the role of humanitarianism in U.S. foreign policy, particularly during the Vietnam War, the Soviet-Afghan War, and the Yugoslav wars. Atanasoski argues that this approach to warfare is based on a system of postsocialist imperialism, which uses humanitarian ethics to justify intervention and regime change. The author analyzes how U.S. power has been used to impose its own cultural values and norms on other societies, often under the guise of promoting diversity and human rights. This book sheds light on the complex relationships between war, crisis, and human rights in the post-Cold War era. It reveals how the United States has redefined its role as a global power, using humanitarianism to justify its military interventions and promote its own interests.
