This study launches a systematic inquiry into the nature of the concept of humanitarian intervention, focusing on its primary function of the protection of the endangered civilian populations who find themselves at the grave risk of genocide. This is strengthened by a recollection of selected historical examples of similar events and the responses to them by the international community, empowered by our modern understanding of the principle of state sovereignty, human rights, and anti-genocide legislation. Applying the in-statu-nascendi ontology that accounts for the latest hybridized compartmentalization of various IR-related theories, the author provides a deep ontological inquiry into the nature, origin, and genesis of the idea of humanitarian intervention and opens up a broader debate on the limits of the principle of state sovereignty as well as on the international community’s ignorance of some of the most severe cases of human rights abuses around the world.

Migration is not a new phenomenon; it has a centuries-long history since the world’s population has been characterized by the desire to relocate not only from one country to another, but from one continent to another as well. However, there is a significant difference between the migrations of the past and the current one. Today’s migration is complicated by the strong emotional reaction and hostile attitude from society. The study of migration processes needs interdisciplinary approaches. The Handbook of Research on the Regulation of the Modern Global Migration and Economic Crisis presents emerging research and case studies on global migration in the modern world. Through interdisciplinary approaches, it further showcases the current challenges and approaches in regulation. Covering topics such as forced migration, human trafficking, and national identity, this major reference work is an excellent resource for migration specialists, government officials, politicians, sociologists, economists, students and educators of higher education, researchers, and academicians.

Since variolation, conventional approaches to vaccine development are based on live-attenuated, inactivated or purified pathogen-derived components. However, effective vaccines against global health threats such as HIV, parasite infections and tumors are difficult to achieve. On the other hand, synthetic vaccines based on immunogenic epitopes offer advantages over traditional vaccines since they are chemically defined antigens free from deleterious effects. Additionally, in contrast to live-attenuated vaccines, they do not revert to virulence in immunocompromised subjects, and different from genetic vaccines, they do not involve ethical questions. Traditional vaccines contain PAMPs and induc...
