Responsibility to Protect and Protection of Civilians:
The new Summer 2011 edition

The Summer 2011 edition of Security Challenges contains up-to-date articles on two issues of major importance for internatinal security in recent months: The Responsibility to Protect concept after the Libya Intervention, and political change and reform in Myanmar.

Vesselin Popovski; Ramesh Thakur; Michael Smith, Jeni Whalan and Peter Thomson; Hugh Breakey and Angus Francis; and Charles Sampford all examine the relationship between the two related concepts of Responsibility to Protect, and the Protection of Civilians in wartime, in light of recent developments in Libya and elsewhere.

John Blaxland and Christopher Roberts argue that the time for Western engagement with Myanmar has now come.
