This book compares Oxfam and MSF’s humanitarian programmes in the 1980s to illuminate how British and French political cultures conditioned their opposing interpretations of ethical action during the Cold War. In so doing, it demonstrates that emerging norms of humanitarian intervention and human rights were fundamentally contested in this decade. -- .
