problem requires a long-term, holistic, and inclusive approach.

The International Politics of Human Rights
Rallying to the R2P Cause?
Edited by Monica Serrano, El Colegio de México, Mexico and Thomas G. Weiss,
City University of New York, USA
The responsibility to protect (R2P) is at a crossroads, the latest in a journey that is only
ten years old. The aim of this work is to link the present debates on the prevention of
mass atrocities to R2P’s normative prospects. Moving beyond well-rehearsed debates
about the tensions and meanings around sovereignty in R2P practice the book
focuses on advancing the credibility of the preventive dimensions of R2P, whilst
simultaneously examining the extent of R2P’s current value-added in state decision
making—especially for the 2011 actions in Libya and Côte d’Ivoire.

The Millennium Development Goals and Beyond
Global Development after 2015
edited by Rorden Wilkinson and David Hulme,
both at University of Manchester, UK
Debates about whether the MDGs have made a positive
contribution to poverty eradication and/or whether they have
achieved as much as they should have done are becoming
more frequent as 2015 and the “end of the MDGs”
approaches. This book highlights that active debate about
what the MDGs have achieved and what that means for the
crafting of a post-2015 international framework for action,
must become a priority. Presenting both a broad overview of
the issues and drawing together prestigious scholars and
practitioners from a variety of fields, this work provides a
significant contribution to debates surrounding both global
poverty and the success and future of the MDGs.
