Description: "Values and Weapons looks at the determinants of legitimacy for the USA and Europe for using military force. Arguing that the non-intervention norm is weakened by the advent of terror groups in failed states as well as by so-called humanitarian intervention, it looks at how legitimacy is constituted. Examining the interventions in Kosovo, Afghanistan and Iraq, the author shows that legitimacy varies in the different phases of war."--Jacket.
