Summary:

"Humanitarian assistance aids those suffering most, from war, disaster, and disease. However, sometimes governments block aid organizations from helping. This book uses examples around the world to theorize how and why governments do this. It then uses this framework to analyze obstruction of aid during the European Migration Crisis (2015-2022)"-- Provided by publisher.
