Международный порядок в наступившем веке

18 с.

The article explores the role of intervention in maintaining and re-shaping international order over the last decade. The right to intervene in the affairs of sovereign states was asserted by the West in the 1990s by operations in the former Yugoslavia. This led to the emergence of the principle of «selective legitimacy» which laid the moral groundwork for persecution of political figures, such as Slobodan Milosevic. However, further evolution of this principle construed by the Bush Administration as the right to «preventive» intervention, raised contradictions among the group of world leaders. A number of United States' European allies refused to recognize «regime change» as a logical consequence of the principle of humanitarian intervention they once helped establish. However, the United States no longer seeks to achieve wide international consensus on its foreign policy goals but rather acts unilaterally disregarding the differences with its allies whose interests the Bush Administration claims to defend.
