The Routledge Handbook of Humanitarian Communication is an
authoritative and comprehensive guide to research in the academic
sub-field of humanitarian communication. It is broadly focused on
communication that presents human vulnerability as a cause for
public concern and encompasses communication with respect to
humanitarian aid and development as well as human rights and
"humanitarian" wars. Recent years have seen the expansion of
critical scholarship on humanitarian communication across a range
of academic fields, sharing recognition of the centrality of media
and communications to our understanding of humanitarianism as an
agent of transnational power, global governance and cosmopolitan
solidarity. The Handbook brings into dialogue these diverse fields,
their theoretical frameworks and methodological approaches as well
as the public debates that lie at the heart of the contemporary
politics of humanitarianism. It consolidates existing knowledge and
maps out this emerging field as an important site of
interdisciplinary knowledge production on media, communication and
humanitarianism. As such, the Handbook is not simply a collection
of texts sharing a similar theme. It is a coherent intellectual
contribution which systematizes current critical scholarship in
terms of Domains, Methods and Issues and sets an agenda of emerging
and evolving research priorities in the field. Consisting of 26
chapters written by international scholars, who have contributed to
laying the foundation of the field, this volume provides an
essential guide to the key ideas, issues, concepts and debates of
humanitarian communication.
