In 1998 the UK adopted a policy of 'new humanitarianism' to address the shortcomings of humanitarian assistance. Sierra Leone became a test case. This book provides an analysis of this approach, placing the experience of Sierra Leone in context with Sudan and Iraq, and showing how the policy affects the future of international humanitarian policy.
