Summary

As wars intensify, human protection faces new challenges. This book moves beyond seeing it as a liberal project in decline, showing how protection arises across conflict zones through messy, negotiated practices where soldiers, aid workers, and diplomats align, and clash. It reframes protection as plural, improvised, and political, opening space for new ways of thinking and acting.
