For over 150 years, the Red Cross has brought succour to the
world's needy, from sick and wounded soldiers on the battlefield,
to political detainees, to those suffering the effects of natural
disasters. The world's oldest and most preeminent humanitarian
movement, the relevance and status of the Red Cross Movement today
is as high as it has ever been. Reimagining and re-evaluating the
Red Cross as a global institutional network, this volume charts the
rise of the Red Cross and analyses the emergence of humanitarianism
through a series of turning points, practices and myths. The
contributors explore the three unique elements that make up the Red
Cross Movement: the International Committee of the Red Cross, the
International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent formerly
known as the League of Red Cross Societies (both based in Geneva)
and the 192 national societies. With chapters by leading scholars
and researchers from Europe, the United Kingdom, Australia, New
Zealand and America, the book offers a timely account of this
unique, complex and contested organisation. -- .
