{"product_id":"advocacy-in-conflict-alex-de-waal-9781783602735","title":"Advocacy in Conflict: Critical Perspectives on Transnational Activism","description":"Conflicts in Africa, Asia and Latin America have become a common focus of advocacy by Western celebrities and NGOs. This provocative volume delves into the realities of these efforts, which have often involved compromising on integrity in pursuit of profile and influence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExamining the methods used by Western advocates, how they relate to campaigns in the countries concerned, and their impact, expert authors evaluate the successes and failures of past advocacy campaigns and offer constructive criticism of current efforts. Taking in a range of high-profile case studies, including campaigns for democracy in Burma and Latin America, for the rights of Palestinians in Gaza, and opposing the Lord's Resistance Army in Uganda, the authors challenge the assumptions set forth by advocacy organizations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alex de Waal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1783602732\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781783602735\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/15\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.70w x 1.00d","brand":"Alex de Waal","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48014052425983,"sku":"9781783602735","price":115.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_803ba319-1179-4cd0-a4fd-2d91374e1e0f.jpg?v=1767746423","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/advocacy-in-conflict-alex-de-waal-9781783602735","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
