| Special Section: the Meaning of Kosovo |
| American Power and Responsibility in a New Century [Excerpt]
- 12/04/00
Assuming that this is, indeed, a historic opportunity for the United States to exercise its power on behalf of liberal, democratic values how can it do so in a morally responsible fashion? Author(s): Alberto R. Coll |
| Morality and the Use of Force in a Unipolar World: The 'Wilsonian Moment?' [Abstract]
- 12/04/00
When, where, and how should the promotion of human rights and democracy abroad figure in American foreign policy? A compelling way for liberals to influence this debate is to underscore a Wilsonian agenda's relevance to national security. Author(s): Tony Smith |
| Humanitarian Intervention: Which Way Forward? [Abstract]
- 12/04/00
NATO's member states put aside their concerns for national sovereignty in favor of humanitarian considerations, acting without UN authorization. European states are rethinking historic prohibitions against humanitarian intervention after Kosovo. Author(s): Richard Caplan |
| Casual War: NATO's Intervention in Kosovo [Abstract]
- 12/04/00

Author(s): Carl Cavanagh Hodge |
| 'Immaculate War': Constraints on Humanitarian Intervention [Abstract]
- 12/04/00

| Will There Be a Trial for the Khmer Rouge? [Abstract]

| Acting on Belief: Christian Perspectives on Suffering and Violence [Abstract]
- 12/04/00

| Special Section: Justice and the World Economy |
| International Organizations and the Pursuit of Justice in the World Economy [Abstract]
- 12/04/00
IOs are suffering a loss of legitimacy, and both social and technological changes associated with globalization will make it harder for IOs to recapture the power to affect the behavior of other actors in world politics. Author(s): Steven Weber |
| Globalization, Justice, and International Organizations: A Commentary [Abstract]
- 12/04/00
In the long term, it will be surprising if states do not address the problem of growing economic gaps through international regimes, although the likely adequacy of their responses is open to question. Author(s): Mark W. Zacher |
