  In the face of the world's disorders, moral concerns have provided a powerful ground for developing international and local policies. This title draws on case materials from France, South Africa, Venezuela, and Palestine to explore the meaning of humanitarianism in the contexts of immigration and asylum, disease and poverty, disaster and war.
