Humanitarians operate on the frontlines of today's armed conflicts,
where they regularly negotiate to provide assistance and to protect
vulnerable civilians. This book explores this unique and
under-researched field of humanitarian negotiation. It details the
challenges faced by humanitarians negotiating with armed groups in
Yemen, Myanmar, and elsewhere, arguing that humanitarians typically
negotiate from a position of weakness. It also explores some of the
tactics and strategies they use to overcome this power asymmetry to
reach more favorable agreements. The author applies these findings
to broader negotiation scholarship and investigates the
implications of this research for the field and practice of
humanitarianism. This book also demonstrates how non-state actors -
both humanitarians and armed groups - have become increasingly
potent diplomatic actors. It challenges traditional state-centric
approaches to diplomacy and argues that non-state actors constitute
an increasingly crucial vector through which international
relations are replicated and reconstituted during contemporary
armed conflict. Only by accepting these changes to the nature of
diplomacy itself can the causes, symptoms, and solutions to armed
conflict be better managed. This book will be of interest to
scholars concerned with conflict resolution, negotiation, and
mediation, as well as to humanitarian practitioners themselves.
