Description: Humanitarianism and Human Rights by Michael N. Barnett Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Human rights and humanitarianism are two totems of global ethics and politics in todays world, but they have a complicated relationship that is not always understood or appreciated. To capture that past, present, and future, this volume explores what each hopes to attain and how those ambitions converge or diverge. Publisher Description This book explores the fluctuating relationship between human rights and humanitarianism. For most of their lives, human rights and humanitarianism have been distant cousins. Humanitarianism focused on situations in faraway places dealing with large-scale loss of life that demanded urgent attention whilst human rights advanced the cause of individual liberty and equality at home. However, the twentieth century saw the two coming much more directly into dialogue, particularly following the end of the Cold War, as both began working in war zones and post-conflict situations. Leading scholars probe how the shifting meanings of human rights and humanitarianism converge and diverge from a variety of disciplinary perspectives ranging from philosophical inquiries that consider whether and how differences are constructed at the level of ethics, obligations, and duties, to historical inquiries that attempt to locate core differences within and between historical periods, and to practice-oriented perspectives that suggest how differences are created and recreated in response to concrete problems and through different kinds of organised activities with different goals and meanings. Author Biography Michael N. Barnett is University Professor of International Affairs and Political Science at the George Washington University, Washington DC. He has written critically acclaimed books on global ethics, humanitarian intervention, and humanitarianism, including Eyewitness to a Genocide: The United Nations and Rwanda (2002) and Empire of Humanity (2012) and edited Paternalism Beyond Borders (2016).
