{"product_id":"necessary-risks-abby-stoddard-9783030264109","title":"Necessary Risks: Professional Humanitarianism and Violence Against Aid Workers","description":"Attacks on humanitarian aid operations are both a symptom and a weapon of modern warfare, and as armed groups increasingly target aid workers for violence, relief operations are curtailed in places where civilians are most in need. This book provides an in-depth analysis of the challenges to humanitarian action in warzones, the risk management and negotiation strategies that hold the most promise for aid organizations, and an ethical framework from which to tackle the problem. By combining rigorous research findings with structural historical analysis and first-person accounts of armed attacks on aid workers, the author proposes a reframed ethos of humanitarian professionalism, decoupled from organizational or political interests, and centered on optimizing outcomes for the people it serves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Abby Stoddard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3030264106\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783030264109\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/03\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 175\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.69d","brand":"Abby Stoddard","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44073521250559,"sku":"9783030264109","price":99.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d3e3442d-5f15-46f2-a0e5-7f2e31cfcb5e.jpg?v=1685448311","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/necessary-risks-abby-stoddard-9783030264109","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
