Ambitious humanitarian military, economic and social interventions,
undertaken by Western actors acting in defence of liberal values,
have today become indelible features of Africa's engagement with
the world. Yet the continent's long, complex historical
relationship with Western humanitarian intervention, dating back to
the origins of imperial engagement with the continent, is often
overlooked in the study of contemporary African security and
development issues. This volume responds to a need for greater
historical grounding in the study of humanitarian intervention, by
bringing together a wide and interdisciplinary range of
contributors who explore the history, theory, and practice of
humanitarian intervention in Africa. In doing so, it traces
continuities in the discourse and practice of the concept as it
evolved from the colonial past to the present, and argues that the
West's colonial relationship with Africa is crucial for better
understanding humanitarian intervention and how the legacies of
colonialism continue to impact emerging international policy.
