“Duffield’s book turns the liberal vision of the
world upside down.”
Survival
“Mark Duffield has written a brilliant book which draws
together the strings of the end of the Cold War, the securitization
of politics, the development of a neo-liberal discourse of
humanitarian intervention, and the fusion of the national and the
international. Particularly compelling is his contrarian view of
the consequences of the liberation of the UN from the shackles of
the Cold War.”
Janice Stein, University of Toronto
“Once again, Mark Duffield has gone beyond the platitudes
of 'development speak', 'security speak' and 'humanitarian speak'.
The book is crammed with insights and with challenges to received
wisdom.”
David Keen, London School of Economics and Political
Science
“Humanitarian and development aid and actors as
counterinsurgency: in this carefully documented but devastating
analysis of the people-centred technology of security for the West
since the mid-1990s and its historical context, Duffield provides
both practitioners and scholars with an interpretive framework for
the new North–South division and consequences of liberal
internationalism that is original and challenging and which demands
serious debate.”
Susan L. Woodward, City University of New York
