About the Book

Humanitarian action formed a major part of the international community's response to the wars of the 1990s, especially civil wars. It has become more prominent, partly because of the reluctance of states to accept refugees; the media have also heightened demands for action; and the UN Security Council has found agreement on humanitarian measures easier than on more substantive issues. The experiences of governments, NGOs, and international bodies involved in humanitarian action have raised controversial issues, such as whether humanitarian action save lives or prolong wars, whether it is compatible with economic sanctions, and whether military assistance for humanitarian action is useful.

About the Author :
Adam Roberts is Montague Burton Professor of International Relations and Fellow of Balliol College, Oxford. He was Associate Editor of Peace News from 196268 and a Lecturer in International Relations at the LSE from 196881. After moving to Oxford he was Alastair Buchan Reader in International Relations and Professorial Fellow at St Antonys College, Oxford from 198186. He was also a member of the Council of the RIIA from 198591.

Review :
"Roberts gives a brilliantly succinct analysis of the issues and dilemmas facing policymakers here--not least how to provide the security that humanitarian aid givers and receivers both desperately need. When it comes to solutions, he has the sturdy Englishman's distaste for grand prescriptions, arguing that it is easier to garner support for particular interventions than for any general principle of humanitarian intervention. Roberts's advocacy of the use of force is of the modest, commonsense variety: do it selectively, where it will work...very helpful indeed in a world too often paralyzed, in the face of suffering, by moral and political indecision."--Common Knowledge
