If they hold such a position in modern humanitarian intervention it is because Médecins Sans Frontières, and its 'little sister' Médecins du Monde, have drawn on the experiences of other organizations gradually to develop their particular brand of intervention; France was after all the last to join the group of so-called \"founder democracies\" in the humanitarian field. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis detailed study of the comparative history of humanitarianism reveals that it was by learning from forms of action devised by agencies in the United States, Great Britain and Switzerland, that MSF, MDM and many others sought to combine relief practices (learnt from the Red Cross) with efforts to mobilize public opinion (using strategies invented by Amnesty International) in the way that they do. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe contributors assess the competing French and \"Anglo-Saxon\" models of intervention and propose approaches to humanitarianism for the twenty-first century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Karl Blanchet\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1849043493\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781849043496\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hurst \u0026amp; Co.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/16\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.77h x 5.78w x 0.58d","brand":"Karl Blanchet","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48800586629375,"sku":"9781849043496","price":36.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/many-reasons-to-intervene-karl-blanchet-9781849043496","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
