Bøker av Peter J. Hoffman

This authoritative book provides a comprehensive analysis of the original idea of humanitarianism and its evolution, exploring its triangulation with war and politics. Tracing the profound changes in the culture and capacities that underpin the sector, the authors assess the reinventions that constitute "revolutions in humanitarian affairs."

Exploring the linkages between war and emergency response, this book focuses on the impact of wars with non-state actors. It traces the evolution of the international humanitarian system from 1860s through the challenges cast by US military action in Afghanistan and Iraq, and is suitable for students.
