The book delves into the United Nations' selective approach to humanitarian intervention over two decades, examining why certain crises, like those in Somalia and Libya, prompted action while others, such as in Colombia and Syria, did not. It analyzes over 30 humanitarian crises using fuzzy-set analysis and includes in-depth case studies of UN responses in Bosnia and Darfur, alongside recent events in Côte d'Ivoire, Libya, and Syria. The work aims to uncover the factors influencing UN intervention decisions and the mechanisms that either facilitate or hinder action.
