In the past decade, numerous military operations by external states have relied on the purported or actual invitation of one of the parties involved. This book, authored by three esteemed experts, delves into the pertinent legal aspects, encompassing sovereignty, the scope and relevance of consent, the use of force, and the role of the Security Council. Through a unique trialogue format, these topics are vigorously debated and addressed, employing critical historical analysis, qualitative case studies, and large-N empirics. The trialogical setting, designed to accommodate the field's pluralism, emphasizes the divergences and commonalities among the three approaches. By drawing upon an in-depth examination of recent cases of armed intervention and the diverse perspectives of the authors, this collection serves as a valuable resource for enhancing our understanding of the law of military intervention. Moreover, this title is also accessible as Open Access on Cambridge Core, ensuring widespread access to its insightful content.
