This new textbook provides an introduction to humanitarian
protection, a field of study concerned with international responses
to armed conflict, political violence, and humanitarian crisis. The
book engages with a wide range of empirical and normative
questions, providing an overview of the academic literature whilst
simultaneously discussing the policies and practices associated
with protective responses to conflict and humanitarian emergencies
that put the lives and livelihoods of vulnerable populations,
including civilians, refugees, and minority groups, at risk.
Divided into three parts, covering the origins of the humanitarian
protection regime, the range of actors involved, and the
responsibilities of these actors, the book offers an accessible
entry point into the major contemporary debates, providing readers
with the conceptual tools for understanding core issues. Key points
are reinforced and illustrated through the deployment of selected
case studies, and a comprehensive glossary is provided for key
terms. Each chapter ends with a summary of key points, questions
for further reflection, and a list of recommended reading. This
book will be of much interest to students of human protection,
humanitarianism, the Responsibility to Protect, human security,
peacekeeping, and International Relations in general.
