Shaping the Humanitarian World (Routledge, December 2008) by Peter Walker and Daniel Maxwell of Tufts University, USA, will be of interest to students of human rights law, politics and international relations, as well as aid specialists.
The book “describes the history of international humanitarian action, details its present structure, key organisations and methodologies and goes on to examine some of its most critical challenges… from working alongside armies and terrorists to witnessing genocide,” according to the Feinstein International Center.
