The era of liberal interventionism is over, and the prevailing international discourse is once again about defending state borders and putting up walls. This broad re-assertion of sovereignty and non-intervention---often considered the normative foundation of the BRICS countries, of the Non-Aligned Movement, of Bandung, of the “Westphalian” South---raises a series of difficult questions, not least about the management of challenges shared by all. How are we to make sense of re-organisations of intervention and non-intervention in global order? Recently the dominant way of approaching these issues has been through the lens of cosmopolitan or liberal-solidarist duties, including the Responsibility to Protect. Yet it seems doubtful that this framework is still capable of posing the right questions or generating the right sorts of answers. This volume offers a new approach that provincializes the conventional debate, de-naturalises what it takes as universal or given, and lays out a series of alternatives at a time when non-intervention, quite suddenly, seems everywhere in the discourse of international society. It does so through a genealogy of the intervention concept since 1945. Intervention before Interventionism is about the ways in which statespeople have re-ordered intervention and non-intervention since the middle of the twentieth century; it is concerned primarily with non-Western contestations of Western-dominated order; it illustrates institutional change in and through decolonization; and it provides a conceptual roadmap for understanding dilemmas of intervention and non-intervention today, particularly in relation to contestation as it has re-emerged in the twenty-first century. While building upon and conversing with existing literature, the book stands out from previous approaches insofar as it is a mapping of international struggles for the re-constitution of intervention in the globalization of the society of states.
"It remains worthwhile to try to prevent more wars like the one that took place in Vietnam, which was certainly one of Rosenau's goals. Although popular stories of intervention seem to remain focused on heroes violating the directive, the seemingly odd debate about the best way to define intervention remains, in fact, pertinent and relevant." - Craig N. Murphy, Wellesley College, US
"There is no trivializing how much Quinton-Brown's impressive research and thinking has augmented the retrieval of the postcolonial agenda in IR. The results are magisterial. It is very much to be hoped that the book creates a new starting-point in this field..." - Samuel Moyn, International Affairs
"...an essential read for IR students and scholars. Quinton-Brown not only uncovers the history and development of the concept of intervention, but he also brings to the forefront the issues that global South state leaders were negotiating; what visions for global ordering they had; and how they saw their role in the global system, advocating for interdependence between freedom and peace." - Lina Benabdallah, International Affairs
"This is a meticulously researched, and carefully constructed analysis...not simply a diplomatic history but an exploration of meaning making as political practice and political contestation in the constitution of orders." - Jacinta O'Hagan, Cambridge Review of International Affairs
"Intervention before Interventionism boldly encourages us to rethink what it means to 'intervene'. Patrick Quinton-Brown analyses the views and practice of non-aligned countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America in the post-1945 period, and his approach reveals that there was a competitive discursive practice around the concept of intervention throughout the Cold War." - Jennifer Welsh, former Special Adviser to the UN Secretary-General on the Responsibility to Protect and McGill University, Canada
