International Intervention in a Secular Age

International intervention is not just about saving human lives: it is also an attempt to secure humanitys place in the universe.

This book explores the Western secular beliefs that underpin contemporary practices of interventionmost importantly, beliefs about life, death and the dominance of humanity. These beliefs shape a wide range of practices: the idea that human beings should intervene when human lives are at stake; analyses of violence and harm; practices of intervention and peace-building; and logics of killing and letting die. Ironically, however, the Western secular desire to ensure the meaningfulness of human life at all costs contributes to processes of dehumanization, undercutting the basic goals of intervention. To explore this paradox, International Intervention in a Secular Age engages with examples from around the world, and draws on interdisciplinary sources: anthropologies of secularity and IR, posthumanist political philosophy, ontology and the sociology of death.

This book offers new insight into perennial problems, such as the reluctance of intervenors to incur fatalities, and international inaction in the face of escalating violence. It also exposes new dilemmas, such as the dehumanizing effects analyzing violence and of transformative peace-building processes and will be of great interest to students and scholars of Political Philosophy, Social Anthropology and Ethics.

Audra Mitchell is a lecturer in the Politics Department at the University of York, UK.

Interventions
Edited by: Jenny Edkins
Aberystwyth University
and Nick Vaughan-Williams
University of Warwick

As Michel Foucault has famously stated, knowledge is not made for understanding;it is made for cutting. In this spirit the EdkinsVaughan-Williams Interventions series solicits cutting edge, critical works that challenge mainstream understandings in international relations. It is the best place to contribute post disciplinary works that think rather than merely recognize and affirm the world recycled in IRs traditional geopolitical imaginary.

Michael J. Shapiro, University of Hawaii at Mnoa, USA

The series aims to advance understanding of the key areas in which scholars working within broad critical post-structural and post-colonial traditions have chosen to make their interventions, and to present innovative analyses of important topics.

Titles in the series engage with critical thinkers in philosophy, sociology, politics and other disciplines and provide situated historical, empirical and textual studies in international politics.
