Beschreibung / Abstract
The Southern democracies India, Brazil, and South Africa (IBSA) are playing an increasingly decisive role in international politics. Thus, their attitude towards the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) matters a lot for the concept and its further development. Dealing with the positions of the three emerging powers from the Global South also contributes to a better understanding of their perceptions, their world views, and their foreign policies. This volume takes a critical look at the IBSA countries†™ stances on R2P and its corresponding norms and principles. It questions common explanations, reveals often existing tensions between rhetoric and practice, and tries to correct false perceptions in Western discourses.
