Title: | The Libyan Spring and NATO: an opportune responsibility | Authors: | Mota, Sarah da | Keywords: | Libyan spring; NATO; R2P; Humanitarism | Issue Date: | 2013 | Publisher: | Faculdade de Economia da Universidade de Coimbra | Series/Report no.: | Comunicações | Serial title, monograph or event: | Comunicações | Abstract: | In the context of popular demonstrations and political upheavals of the Arab Spring, this paper addresses the 2011 intervention in Libya as a case for deepening the understanding of individual-centred security policies. Drawing on a conceptual and normative approach of R2P and NATO, it seeks to denaturalize the idea that Operation Unified Protector is a success in organizational terms, in order to uncover the underlying implications of “efficiency” in running an intervention based on R2P. It argues that there is a dissonance between the normative evolution towards ethics and military deeds which blurs the significance of responsibility. This results in a twisted sense of cosmopolitanism which primarily affects the referent object of security that has been dominant in contemporary interventionism, i.e., the unsecured civilian. | Description: | Texto da comunicação apresentada a 6th Graz Workshop on the Future of Security, Graz, Áustria, 10-11 de junho de 2013 | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/23840 | Rights: | openAccess |
