Miriam Bradley is a Senior Lecturer in the Humanitarian & Conflict Response Institute (HCRI) at the University of Manchester. Her research focuses on international responses to conflict, violence and migration, and she is the author of Protecting Civilians in War (OUP, 2016). Prior to joining HCRI, she was an Associate Professor at the Institut Barcelona d'Estudis Internacionals, and she has also held research and teaching positions at the Geneva Graduate Institute, University College London, the University of Oxford, and Oxford Brookes University. She has a doctorate in International Relations from the University of Oxford, for which she won the 2012 Winchester Prize.

This would be an excellent textbook in an upper-division undergraduate or graduate course on current approaches to humanitarian responses. Researchers and practitioners can draw a great deal from the array of recent literature included in this book. Well organized and written, this book deserves a wide audience.
