R2P's 'Structural' Problems: A Response to Roland Paris

Abstract

Roland Paris is a formidable intellectual, one of Canada’s foremost mid-career scholars with an enviable international reputation already, who thinks deeply and writes cogently on some pressing contemporary challenges of global governance at the intersection of scholarship and policy – as well as a friend and professional colleague. That I am no longer able to interact with him as easily as when I was based in Canada is a keenly felt loss. This article highlights many of his impressive strengths as an analytical scholar on policy relevant topics.
