How can we, when alerted to the mass slaughter of innocents, still not take a stand? Reluctant Interveners provides the most comprehensive answers yet to these confronting questions, focusing on the complex relationships between the citizenry, the media, the political elites, and institutions in the most powerful nation in the world, the United States of America. Eyal Mayroz offers a sobering account of the interactions between the governing and the governed, and the dynamics which transformed moral concerns for the lives of faraway "others" into cold political calculations. Exposed are the processes that turned the promise of "never again" to a recurring reality of ever again, the role of the office of the presidency in their advancement, and the resultant image of America as seen by the rest of the world. In a time of ubiquitous social media and populist revival, a greater role for the U.S. citizenry in decision-making on responses to genocide may be in the cards. The question is, in which directions will these trends take American foreign policy?"-- |cProvided by publisher. 504 Includes bibliographical references (pages 137-206) and index. 505 00 |tAmerica's relationship with genocide -- |tA policy-opinion nexus: legitimating inaction on genocide? -- |tWords versus deeds in America's relationship with genocide -- |tDomestic responses to genocide: public opinion versus public behaviour -- |tAmerica and the first genocide of the twenty-first century -- |tDetermining factors in the making of the US Darfur policy. 591 Record updated by Marcive processing 21 June 2024 650 0 Genocide intervention |xGovernment policy |zUnited States. 650 0 Humanitarian intervention |zUnited States. 651 0 United States |xForeign relations |y1989- 650 7 Diplomatic relations. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01907412 650 7 Humanitarian intervention. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00963572 651 7 United States. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01204155 650 7 Völkermord. |2gnd |0(DE-588)4063690-2 650 7 Intervention. |2gnd |0(DE-588)4162156-6 650 7 |0(FrPBN)11967012Génocide |0(FrPBN)11932989 |xPrévention. |2ram 650 7 |0(FrPBN)12394909Relations extérieures |zÉtats-Unis |y1989-.... |2ram 648 7 Since 1989 |2fast 830 0 Genocide, political violence, human rights series. 852 0 |bscstacks |hJZ6369 |i.M378 2019
