  • First Online:
Humanitarian Intervention and the Responsibility to Protect

Abstract

Chapter 3 explains the evolution of the responsibility to protect (R2P) norm, as a distinct model but still contingent to the notion of humanitarian intervention. It also discusses how the R2P is articulated in separate discursive coalitions, which makes its meaning contested and unfixed. In this part, a literature review of both critical and pro-R2P is presented. The chapter also makes references to the discursive practices. Moreover, the chapter introduces how the term entered into the Turkish discourse.
