Routledge Humanitarian Studies

Routledge Humanitarian Studies is the world’s leading Humanitarian Studies book  
series. Published in collaboration with the International Humanitarian Studies  
Association (IHSA), the series explores the causes of humanitarian crises; how they  
evolve; their effects on people, institutions, and societies; and the range of responses.  
The series highlights everyday struggles of people affected by humanitarian crises  
(including famine), whether caused by disaster, conflict, climate change, or political  
instability, or a combination of all. It also examines the roles of different actors and  
humanitarian practices, from local responders to national ministries, to the  
international aid system. In addition, the series addresses the structural issues that  
contribute to humanitarian crises, including local and global inequalities, aid  
architecture and governance, and how these link to peacekeeping, and post-conflict  
state building. This inclusive book series invites submissions from voices from around  
the world, at a time when the humanitarian sector is undergoing a period of significant  
change.  

This series draws on and is relevant to a range of disciplines, including but not  
exclusive to humanitarian studies, development studies, international relations,  
politics, decolonial studies, migration studies, anthropology, sociology, peace and  
conflict studies, gender studies, cultural studies, and media studies. It also welcomes  
interdisciplinary submissions.  

To submit proposals, please contact the series editors or Senior Editor for Global  
Development books, Helena Hurd ([email protected]).
