Summary:	"This book provides an original and much needed account of France's relationship to human protection since the 1980s. To do so, it analyses a tale of two norms using an innovative theoretical framework: The first is 'France's domestic norm of human protection,' and the second is the dominant international principle or norm of human protection at the time (mainly, humanitarian intervention in the 1990s and the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) in the 2000s). Through this tale of two norms, but also thanks to interviews of key actors such as Gareth Evans and Bernard Kouchner, and the analysis of 14 case studies, the book brings together human protection, France's foreign policy, and norm diffusion and makes key contributions to each field. --

Description
Summary:	Since the end of the Cold War, the protection of human life has been a key priority of the international community. Though France has been at the forefront of these humanitarian efforts, its international role in and long-standing commitment to human protection overlooked and underestimated. Eglantine Staunton offers a compelling corrective to prevailing assumptions about France's foreign policy, examining its relationship to the dominant international principles established by the humanitarian intervention of the 1990s and the UN's Responsibility to Protect doctrine in 2005. Combining case studies of the interventions in Kosovo, Rwanda and Iraq, among others, and interviews with key actors including Gareth Evans and Bernard Kouchner, Staunton's innovative theoretical framework offers a valuable tool for understanding the interplay between domestic and international norms.
