Global Humanitarianism: NGOs And the Crafting of Community

In Global Humanitarianism Daniel Robert Dechaine undertakes an historical-cultural analysis of humanitarian NGO rhetoric and politics. He focuses his study specifically on MZdecins Sans Fronti_res and the International Campaign to Ban Landmines. This book, besides being the first of its kind, offers to the disciplines of political science, cultural studies, and sociology a model with which to consider the political and social roles of NGOs in the ever-changing global community.

Daniel Robert DeChaine is Assistant Professor of Liberal Studies, California State University, Los Angeles
