Haass argues that ‘wars of necessity’ are essentially unavoidable. They involve the most important national interests, a lack of promisingalternativestotheuseofforce,andacertainandconsiderableprice to be paid if the status quo is allowed to stand. Examples include the Second World WarandtheKoreanWar.By contrast,wars ofchoicetendto involve interests that are less vital and the existence of viable alternative policies, be theydiplomacy,inaction,orsomethingelse.ThewarsinVietnam,Bosnia,and Kosovo were all ‘wars of choice’. By definition, a war of choice is optional. WhatgovernedthedecisiontointerveneinLibya? ThemilitaryinterventioninLibyain2011isaparticularlyinterestingcase formanyreasons,notleastbecausethelegitimizationformilitaryintervention was leaning heavily on the principle of ‘the responsibility to protect’ (R2P). Thus,publicly,itwasawarofchoicewithamotivenotrootedinself-interest. Still, the military coalition consisted of a number of nations with different histories,cultures,interests,andstrategicoutlooks. It seems fair to argue that the vast majority of empirical evidence, after millennia of international politics and decisions on war, has gravitated over- whelmingly more towards national interest as the real rationale for military interventions. Despite public rhetoric of humanitarian intervention and this being the first war based on the new doctrine of R2P, were the dynamics governing the international intervention in Libya any different than national self-interest?Thus,thisbooktriestoanswertwobroadquestions: 1.
