''As the world confronts an upsurge of atrocity crimes in the Middle East and sub-Saharan Africa, there is an acute need for fresh thinking about 'timely and decisive responses to these crises - the third pillar of R2P. With sharp analysis covering a wide range of global perspectives, a keen sense of the difficult politics involved in protecting populations from atrocity crimes, and deep understanding of the range of relevant measures and actors, this book provides a clear-eyed assessment of the theory, practice and politics of R2P's 'third pillar'. Comprising rigorous empirical analysis and conceptual innovation, this is a book that will be welcomed by those who practice protection as well as those that study it.'' - Alex J. Bellamy, The University of Queensland, Australia
