Thisbookhasbeeningestationforapproximatelythreeyearsandisthe
brainchild of the editors and Dr Robert Zuber. Every time we felt sure
that the book project should get underway, a new, unfortunate, inter-
national development occurred to shift our thinking and intellectual
energies.Thewholecomplexandmessybusinessofthe“ArabSpring”,
leadingasitdidtocrisesinLibyaandSyria,gaveuspauseforthought
onwhatpreciselyitwasabouttheResponsibilitytoProtect(RtoP)that
we wanted to say. Having ourselves attended and organized numerous
international conferences on the RtoP, we felt that a concerted intel-
lectualeffortwasrequiredtounderstandtheimplicationsandpolitical
faultlinesinvolvedin“timelyanddecisiveaction”undertheprinciple’s
third pillar. We were fortunate enough to have met and collaborated
withsuchexcellentco-authorsinourintellectualquest.
Ahostofpubliceventshelpedtocrystalizetheoveralleditorialdirec-
tion of the book. This began with a conference on the third pillar in
April2012,whichwasorganizedbytheMadariaga–CollegeofEurope
Foundation, Global Action to Prevent War (GAPW), the Global Gover-
nanceInstitute(GGI),VesaliusCollegeandtheInternationalCoalition
fortheResponsibilitytoProtect(ICRtoP)inBrussels.Inthesamemonth

In June 2012, the Friedrich Ebert Stiftung and GAPW hosted a further
