Summary:

Intervention before Interventionism maps the evolving discourse on intervention and non-intervention since the mid-twentieth century, focusing especially on non-Western perspectives. Quinton Brown critically explores how international actors have contested Western-dominated norms—tracing institutional transformations during decolonization, the rise of the Non-Aligned Movement, BRICS, and the ongoing tensions around sovereignty, humanitarian intervention, and global order. Through comprehensive archival research and genealogy, the book offers a conceptual roadmap to understand modern dilemmas of intervention, challenging assumptions about liberal interventionism. This work is essential for scholars and students of international relations, post-colonial studies, and global political theory seeking a rigorous critique of interventionist paradigms.
