Nine democracies discussed (Canada, France, Germany, India, Japan, Norway, Russia, UK and US) contribute to military operations sanctioned by the UN and NATO. On whose authority, and with what oversight? This analysis of internationally-authorized armed interventions and democratic accountability raises concerns about the nation-state, international organizations, and democratic armed forces.
