IHSA Book Series

The Routledge Humanitarian Studies series is a collaboration with the International Humanitarian Studies Association (IHSA). The series editors are Alex de Waal, Dorothea Hilhorst, Mihir Bhatt and Annette Jansen. The series takes a comprehensive approach to the growing field of expertise that is humanitarian studies. This field is concerned with humanitarian crises caused by natural disaster, conflict or political instability and deals with the study of how humanitarian crises evolve, how they affect people and their institutions and societies, and the responses they trigger. We invite book proposals that address, amongst other topics, questions of aid delivery, institutional aspects of service provision, the dynamics of rebel wars, state building after war, the international architecture of peacekeeping, the ways in which ordinary people continue to make a living throughout crises, and the effect of crises on gender relations. This interdisciplinary series draws on and is relevant to a range of disciplines, including development studies, international relations, international law, anthropology, peace and conflict studies, public health and migration studies. Please contact the Editor, Helena Hurd (Helena.Hurd@tandf.co.uk) to discuss book projects. IHSA members receive a 20% discount on all books in the series below.
