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. 04.0_pp_iv_iv_Copyright_page 05.0_pp_v_vi_Contents 06.0_pp_vii_vii_Contributors 07.0_pp_viii_viii_Acknowledgments 08.0_pp_1_30_Introduction 09.0_pp_31_104_Differences_or_Distinctions 09.1_pp_33_48_Human_Rights_and_Humanitarianization 09.2_pp_49_70_Suffering_and_Status 09.3_pp_71_88_Humanitarianism_and_Human_Rights_in_Morality_and_Practice 09.4_pp_89_104_For_a_Fleeting_Moment 10.0_pp_105_251_Practices 10.1_pp_107_126_Humanitarian_Governance_and_the_Circumvention_of_Revolutionary_Human_Rights_in_the_British_Empire 10.2_pp_127_139_Humanitarian_Intervention_as_an_Entangled_History_of_Humanitarianism_and_Human_Rights 10.3_pp_140_159_Mobilizing_Emotions_Shame_Victimhood_and_Agency 10.4_pp_160_184_At_Odds 10.5_pp_185_202_Innocence 10.6_pp_203_218_Reckoning_with_Time 10.7_pp_219_234_Between_the_Border_and_a_Hard_Place 10.8_pp_235_251_Conclusion 11.0_pp_252_285_Notes 12.0_pp_286_329_Bibliography 13.0_pp_330_344_Index
