Global Governance and the New Wars
by Mark Duffield
"In this ambitious book Duffield links the changing politics of intervention to the changing politics of aid and asylum. At the end of the Cold War, expectations regarding the right to asylum changed. Today people are often provided with aid in the very places where conflicts are occurring. Opening up humanitarian aid corridors was presented as progressive, but it was in fact a step backwards because it effectively imprisons people in conflict instead of allowing them to escape."
