An empire cannot function with the slow, cumbersome machine of constitutional democracy on its back. Empires must be ruled with speed and ruthlessness.
I made this for my Western Civ II class on April 27, 2017. I couldn't find anything online that dealt with these issues, so I cobbled this together from a lot of sources. It's rough, but I think the material is important so I wanted to get it out into the public arena.

The Responsibility to Protect: Rethinking Humanitarian Intervention
by Gareth Evans*
The Policy Challenge
Until terrorism overwhelmed international attention after 9/11, the really big issue in inter
national relations?the one that must have launched a thousand Ph.Ds?was the "right of
humanitarian intervention," the question of when, if ever, it is appropriate for states to take
coercive action, in particular coercive military action, against another state in order to protect
people at risk in that other state. Man-made internal catastrophe, and what the international
community should do about it, is what more than anything else preoccupied international rela
tions practitioners, commentators, and scholars in the decade after the Cold War.
The cases on which the debate centered are all burnished in our memory. They are cases both
when intervention happened and when it did not:
The debacle of the international intervention in Somalia in 1993;
The pathetically inadequate response to genocide in Rwanda in 1994;
The utter inability of the UN presence to prevent murderous ethnic cleansing in Srebrenica

Instructor Guidance
Week 4
Congratulations to everyone to making it to week four! We are officially past the half way mark. This is a good time to take a step back and take stock of everything you have learned so far. If you are behind on your work for the course, it might be a good time to reach out to your instructor to see what you can do to get caught up.
This is also a good time to go over the sources that you have found for your final project, reading carefully and closely. It might help to keep researching at the Ashford Library (see the week three guidance for more help finding sources). As you read over your sources, ask yourself “what are they saying about the topic, and how can I use what they are saying to support what I want to say”. Also, take notes as you read, so that you can go back and use useful materials from sources. Use quotes sparingly and make sure that you explain the quote and put it in the context of your own thinking.
