More about the book

The book delves into the legitimacy of humanitarian intervention, specifically analyzing NATO's 1999 action in Kosovo. It integrates Habermasian communicative ethics with international relations to establish "communicative imperatives" that guide the evaluation of force's legitimacy. By introducing a critical communicative dimension, it challenges traditional moral and legal frameworks, revealing communicative distortions that question established narratives of legitimacy in Kosovo. This innovative approach will appeal to students and scholars in international security, conflict transformation, and critical theory.
