Description

Explore the evolution of humanitarianism in global politics with this critical introduction by Routledge. Authors Peter Walker and Daniel G. Maxwell trace the history of international humanitarian action from its early origins and the birth of the Red Cross through to the establishment of the UN and into the twenty-first century. This text examines how the international community responds to humanitarian crises and investigates the systems that both bind and divide global actors. Readers gain insight into the complex challenges humanitarian agencies face while operating in high-stakes environments, including working alongside armies and terrorists or witnessing genocide. It is an essential resource for understanding the shifting landscape of international law and global political response.
