Authoritarian Practices and Humanitarian Negotiations: Routledge Humanitarian Studies
Editat de Andrew J Cunninghamen Limba Engleză Paperback – 7 dec 2023
Chapters provide insights at the macro, meso, and micro levels through case studies on the international and domestic legal and political framing of humanitarian contexts (Xinjiang, Afghanistan, Venezuela, Russia, and Syria), as well as the actual practice of negotiating with authoritarian regimes (Ethiopia). A theoretical grounding is provided through chapters elaborating on the ethics and trust-building dimensions of humanitarian negotiations, and an overview chapter provides a theoretical framework through which to analyse humanitarian negotiations against the backdrop of different types of authoritarian practices.
This book provides a wide-ranging view which broadens the frame of reference when considering how humanitarians view and engage with authoritarian practices. The objective is to both put these contexts into conceptual order and provide a firm theoretical basis for understanding the politics of humanitarian negotiations in such difficult contexts. This book is useful for those studying international politics and humanitarian studies, as well as for practitioners seeking to better systematise their humanitarian negotiations.

Academic, Postgraduate, and Professional Practice & DevelopmentRecenzii
This book unravels one of the most understudied and under-theorised aspect of humanitarian studies, namely the complexities of humanitarianism in the context of controlling – authoritarian – states. This poses many challenges where humanitarian organisations must adapt the theories defining their relationship with states and fine-tune their engagement strategies. This volume not only provides superior real-life analysis of state–aid relations, it also brings many pointers for humanitarians to improve how they negotiate humanitarian access with states.
Dorothea Hilhorst, Professor of Humanitarian Studies at the International Institute for Social Studies of Erasmus University in The Hague
Delivering vital aid to crisis-affected people often hinges on complex humanitarian negotiations within authoritarian environments. By combining concrete operational examples with political theory, Cunningham et al. offer a deeper understanding and sharper analytical lens for aid practitioners and scholars grappling with these issues.
Abby Stoddard, PhD, author of Necessary Risks: Professional Humanitarianism and Violence against Aid Workers
Charged with urgently saving in extremis, international humanitarian actors are often criticised as ‘state avoiding’ as they so often substitute, and undermine, state responsibilities. Yet, the reality is that the very presence, access and actions of aid actors in any country is predicated on challenging negotiations with often difficult authorities. This book offers an extraordinary insight into state-INGO negotiations to access communities at risk in some of the world's most hard-to-reach contexts: Afghanistan, Ethiopia, China, Russia and Syria. Pairing insights from international experts with critical insights from academics, this book spans conceptual theory, real-world experience and ethical dilemmas in some of the toughest places. It's a must read for practitioners, policy makers and academics working on humanitarian action today.

This book is designed to help humanitarian workers who are active in authoritarian states as they navigate ethical dilemmas, negotiate amidst uncertainty and make difficult choices on behalf of those they serve. Its case studies will be especially valued.
