This book explores this unique and under-researched field of humanitarian negotiation. It details the challenges faced by humanitarians negotiating with armed groups in Yemen, Myanmar, and elsewhere, arguing that humanitarians typically negotiate from a position of weakness. It also explores some of the tactics and strategies they use to overcome this power asymmetry to reach more favorable agreements. The author applies these findings to broader negotiation scholarship and investigates the implications of this research for the field and practice of humanitarianism. This book also demonstrates how non-state actors - both humanitarians and armed groups - have become increasingly potent diplomatic actors. It challenges traditional state-centric approaches to diplomacy and argues that non-state actors constitute an increasingly crucial vector through which international relations are replicated and reconstituted during contemporary armed conflict. Only by accepting these changes to the nature of diplomacy itself can the causes, symptoms, and solutions to armed conflict be better managed. This book will be of interest to scholars concerned with conflict resolution, negotiation, and mediation, as well as to humanitarian practitioners themselves"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Humanitarian intervention. 650 0 $a Negotiation. 650 0 $a Diplomacy. 650 0 $a War $x Protection of civilians. 650 0 $a Humanitarian assistance. 650 7 $a Diplomacy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00894188 650 7 $a Humanitarian assistance. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00963553 650 7 $a Humanitarian intervention. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00963572 650 7 $a Negotiation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01035551 650 7 $a War $x Protection of civilians. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01170362 830 0 $a Global institutions series. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20210721013440.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E9671BECB05F11EA86A2D96D97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
