Editorial Reviews

Review

"In this impressively researched book, Adam Branch offers a powerful analysis of the role of humanitarian intervention in the construction of authoritarian political control. He provides a masterful examination of the tradeoffs between humanitarian assistance and collaboration in host country counterinsurgency and population control strategies, bringing clarity to a complex and challenging subject. I commend this book to scholars and policy makers with a serious interest in humanitarian intervention and authoritarian politics, and to anyone who cares about how to assist communities in need."--William Reno, Associate Professor of Political Science, Northwestern University

"Branch's sweeping critique of human rights intervention is sure to provoke and inspire. This book raises questions that cannot be ignored by students or seekers of peace and justice in Africa today. In unsettling some of the humanitarians' most profound articles of faith, Branch proves how indispensable critical thought remains in the pursuit of human rights. The book uncovers the cognitive deficit which undermines contemporary humanitarianism and reveals the moral arrogance of some human rights entrepreneurs."--Moses Chrispus Okello, Senior Research Advisor, Refugee Law Project, Makerere University

"Adam Branch has written a remarkable book on the theory and practice of human rights intervention. This book is at the same time a deep reflection on the complicity of the human rights community in the decades-long war on the Acholi people. All those interested in questions of rights and justice will do well to read this book."--Mahmood Mamdani, Professor of Government, Columbia University

"In this highly readable and important study, Branch develops a damning rebuttal to claims that the ICC is serving the cause of global justice in Africa. Starting from the ICC's practice and effects on the ground, rather than from the abstract claims of its advocates, Branch demonstrates how law becomes arbitrary and politicized: a factor in armed conflict rather than standing above or resolving it."--David Chandler, Professor of International Relations, University of Westminster

"A key strength of the book is its ability to analyse and reveal common patterns in seemingly disparate and complex empirical instances of counterproductive human rights interventions in Uganda. ... [T]his book should be required reading for all those working on various themes in Africa today."--The Journal of Modern African Studies

"This book provides a pessimistic, but much needed, critique of the history of foreign intervention in Northern Uganda. ... Responsible discussions of foreign policy must consider the ways in which 'great power politics' can hurt people in the name of protection; this book is an excellent place to start that discussion." - The Christian Science Monitor

Book Description

Lays bare the counterproductive consequences of Western human rights intervention in Africa. Based on a case study of northern Uganda's civil war, and drawing on the author's own extensive fieldwork and human rights activism, the book offers a seminal critique of Western intervention and a new path towards peace
