Ndubisi Obiaga

The Politics of Humanitarian Organizations Intervention

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book takes a close look at an aspect of Nigeria's development that has to date received inadequate attention- the role that humanitarian organizations played during the civil wars. Using foreign policy, historical analysis, and the traditional law concept in defining intervention, this book will broaden the overall scope of critically analyzing the effect that non-governmental agents in a society have on foreign relations.
