ABSTRACT
By adopting a broad concept of intervention that focuses on its diverse forms, this chapter identifies an array of existing and, arguably, unjust forms of intervention. Intervention in this chapter refers to deliberative action by a state or coalition of states, whose purpose is to bring about political, legal, economic, or ideological changes in another state, changes which are often imposed on other states, or organizations or individuals within these states. The most common reason for opposing international intervention is indeed transferred from theory about relations within the state to international relations. There are three possible forms of intervention: the first is economic and takes place mainly in the market; the second is ideological and takes place mainly in civil society; the third is military, which takes place within the sphere of the state. The chapter summarizes two attitudes to these three forms of intervention: the liberal and the socialist.
