This book explores attempts to develop a more acceptable account of the principles and mechanisms associated with humanitarian intervention, which has become known as the 'Responsibility to Protect' (R2P). Cases of genocide and mass violence have raised endless debates about the theory and practice of humanitarian intervention to save innocent lives. Since the humanitarian tragedies in Rwanda, Burundi, Bosnia, Kosovo and elsewhere, states have begun advocating a right to undertake interventions to stop mass violations of human rights from occurring. Their central concern rests with whether the.

This groundbreaking book examines the changing Chinese legal system since 1978. In addition to historical analyses of changes at the economic, political-legal, and social levels, Liang gives special attention to crime and punishment functions of the legal system, and the current judicial system based on field research, i.e., court observations in both Beijing and Chengdu. The court system has been in a process of systemization, both internally and externally, seeking more power and relative independence. However, traditional influences, such as preference of mediation (over litigation) and sub

Multiculturalism is an issue of concern for political scientists, sociologists and philosophers. In recent years, it has also been at the forefront of political debates. Various types of multiculturalist policies have been defended and criticized. Should persons, cultural groups and peoples be recognized in their various cultural, religious and ethnic identities? Can we recognize groups and not only individuals? What groups should be recognized: feminists, homosexuals, ethnic minorities and religious groups? These questions have been hotly debated for some time, but we can now benefit from the experience of particular multiculturalist policies and of their confrontation with reality. This book offers critical reflections by established academics on the crisis of multiculturalism that occurred in Great Britain, the Netherlands and Canada. They provide an occasion to develop a sophisticated understanding of societies characterized by religious, ethnic and cultural diversity.
