Conflict, Security and
development
An Introduction
Paul Jackson and danielle Beswick, both at
University of Birmingham, UK
This new textbook addresses
the the impact of conflict and
security on development
initiatives. The authors marry
academic teaching and
approaches with practical policy
through three key features:
• using the best of recent
academic theory, field research
and policy to provide an
overview of the connections
between security and
development
• exploring the implications of these connections for the
theory and practice of development
• investigating the challenges that arise for post-conflict
reconstruction when we recognise that security and
development are mutually contingent.
The authors are experienced in both the theory and
practice of development and conflict, and illustrate the
theory about the links between conflict, security and
development with practical examples, drawing on
up-to-date literature and personal experience. Each
chapter is informed by student pedagogy.

Contemporary European
Security
david J. Galbreath, University of Aberdeen, UK
European security is a complex network of insecurities,
institutions and initiatives. Europe is faced with the
traditional insecurities of inter- and intra-state conflict as
well as non-state threats to security such as
environmental, health and human security. The region’s
attempts to combat these insecurities have been to
develop and foster regional institutions, such as the EU,
NATO, OSCE and even the Council of Europe. In turn,
member-states and the institutions have set out various
ways to combat a range of insecurities from ethnic
conflict to human trafficking.
This text explores the complex European security
architecture with an eye on introducing students to the
empirical, theoretical and conceptual approaches to
European security.

New
Humanitarianism Contested
Where Angels Fear to Tread
Michael Barnett, George Washington University,
USA and Thomas G. Weiss, City University of New
York, USA
This book provides a succinct
but sophisticated understanding
of humanitarianism and insight
into the on-going dilemmas and
tensions that have accompanied
it since its origins in the early
nineteenth century. Combining
theoretical and historical
exposition with a broad range
of contemporary case studies,
the book:
• provides a brief survey of the
history of humanitarianism,
beginning with the anti-slavery movement in the early
nineteenth century and continuing to today’s challenge
of post-conflict reconstruction and saving failed states
• explains the evolution of humanitarianism
• presents an overview of the contemporary
humanitarian sector, including briefly who the key
actors are, how they are funded and what they do
with their money
• analyses the ethical dilemmas confronted by
humanitarian organization
• examines how humanitarianism poses fundamental
ethical questions regarding the kind of world we want
to live in, what kind of world is possible, and how we
might get there.
An accessible and engaging work by two of the leading
scholars in the field, Humanitarianism Contested is
essential reading for all those concerned with the future
of human rights and international relations.
