{"product_id":"military-humanitarianism-1","title":"Military Humanitarianism","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhile interconnections between humanitarian actors and military operations are a pervasive feature of contemporary conflicts around the globe today, \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eMilitary Humanitarianism \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003echallenges the idea that these interactions are a recent phenomenon.\u003c\/b\u003e Instead, this volume offers an alternative interpretation to the traditional framing of military actors as a homogenous group and humanitarian actors as impartial intermediaries between armed groups and aid recipients. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn tracing a longer lineage beyond the post–Cold War period and twenty-first century, \u003ci\u003eMilitary Humanitarianism\u003c\/i\u003e uncovers a deeper history of entanglement between \"humanitarian\" and \"military\" actors – supposedly distinct categories that have long been mutually constitutive. By examining the malleability of these concepts and bringing different contexts into conversation, both editors and contributors reveal the tensions, ambiguities, and paradoxes of defining \"humanitarian\" action in practice, particularly in contrast to military operations. As a result, \u003ci\u003eMilitary Humanitarianism\u003c\/i\u003e provides timely insight into the understanding and politics of humanitarian operations, on and beyond the battlefield. It asks not just what it means to \"help\" but who gets to – and why.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContributors: Cedric Cotter, Maria Cullen, Lewis Defrates, Bronwen Everill, Matilda Greig, Baher Ibrahim, Julia F.
