The essay explores the dynamics of political will in the context of humanitarian intervention, arguing that decisions are influenced by a balance of anticipated costs and benefits. It reviews Cold War conditions and shifts focus to the post-Cold War era, analyzing key factors that affect the willingness to intervene. The discussion includes supportive cases, contrasting them with the situation in Rwanda, which exemplifies a failure of political will. This analysis highlights the complexities of international responses to crises and the importance of strategic considerations in intervention decisions.
