Humanitarian Disarmament

An Historical Enquiry

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Humanitarian disarmament is widely understood as a post-Cold War phenomenon, typified by the Anti-Personnel Landmines Convention; the Convention on Cluster Munitions; and the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. This book challenges that understanding, arguing that it neglects a complex history of humanitarian sensibilities in disarmament.
