Abstract

In the previous chapter it was shown that the 1998–9 SHE in Kosovo had been significantly contextualised by the mismanagement of economic policies on the part of the neo-liberal international economic order and by the philosophical pre-assumptions upon which these policies are erected. This explains why I argue in this book that SHEs need necessarily be explained as part of the humanitarian intervention complex and not considered as separate from it.
