{"product_id":"humanitarian-space-and-international-politics-hikaru-yamashita-9780754641636","title":"Humanitarian Space and International Politics: The Creation of Safe Areas","description":"The creation of safe areas poses a number of difficult challenges to the spatial and normative organization of contemporary international politics. As a result, academics, practitioners and NGOs alike will find the case studies in this informative book essential reading. Hikaru Yamashita firstly looks at the case of northern Iraq after the first Iraqi war, where safe areas represented a major departure from the conventional notion. The different understandings of the Srebrenica safe areas, especially with regard to the role of security, are also assessed to ascertain how they eventually destroyed this humanitarian space. A much-needed account of the extent to which humanitarian space, intended as shelter in response to Rwandan genocide, consequently destabilized the area and provided cover for the genocideurs is additionally provided. This well-researched book, through the prism of safe areas, allows a measured assessment to be made of the place of human rights and humanitarianism in the contemporary world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hikaru Yamashita\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0754641635\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780754641636\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/10\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 230\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Hikaru Yamashita","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086810558719,"sku":"9780754641636","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_781c7cbf-be82-44fa-a3fd-2994048eda2b.jpg?v=1769096718","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/humanitarian-space-and-international-politics-hikaru-yamashita-9780754641636","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
