Trade Review"This is an original and rigorous exploration of key categories that define both the genealogy and development of humanitarianism. By presenting the dynamics and paradoxes of the humanitarian domain in a dictionary form, the protagonists of the humanitarian enterprise can see more clearly the underlying factors at work through the tensions that affect the sphere of action. It is through informed reflections and syntheses like this dictionary that controversies can become dialogue. This dictionary is indispensable for correctly contextualising and interpreting one of the major political and moral phenomena of the contemporary world." – Mariella Pandolfi, Professor of Anthropology Emeritus, University of Montreal "This interdisciplinary dictionary on keywords in the field of humanitarianism is indispensable in today's world." – Laura Nader, Professor of Anthropology, University of California at Berkeley "A strategic selection of sharply focused and neatly concise yet at the same time valuably connotational sketches of some key terms - and principles and ethics - of humanitarian intervention and aid, each entry with a few references for further study added. Excellent." – Raymond Apthorpe, Royal Anthropological Institute, London, and the University of Cambridge "The title of the volume downplays its important contribution. The 107 entries provide not only a succinct overview of many of the critical and controversial concepts of humanitarianism, but also a mapping of the shifting ground on which humanitarianism sits. Concise enough to be valuable to those entering the field, while nuanced enough to be a reference for those in the field." – Michael Barnett, University Professor of International Affairs and Political Science, George Washington University “Humanitarianism is a field which depends heavily on terms of art. Knowing the key concepts in the field—their history, their resonances, their connections to specific policies and practices—is important for anyone who wants to work in or on humanitarianism. This dictionary is more than just a collection of definitions. Written by some of the leading scholars of humanitarianism, this is an essential map of all the key ideas in the field." – Elizabeth Cullen Dunn, Professor of Geography, Indiana University, Bloomington
