KENNESAW, Ga. (Jan 17, 2019) — Dr. Maia Hallward, Professor in the School of Conflict Management and Dr. Amanda Guidero, Alumnae to the PhD in International Conflict Management published "Global Responses to Conflict and Crisis in Syria and Yemen" January 2019.

This book compares different international responses to the internal conflicts in Syria and Yemen through an examination of the coverage each conflict has received in the media. The work explores and evaluates rival explanations for why the Syrian conflict has garnered so much more attention than the Yemen conflict and the opportunities and limitations for using international law and international humanitarian law to discuss and analyze intervention. Using this assessment, the authors then discuss why this differential attention matters in terms of IR theory, humanitarian response, and policy recommendations for responding to humanitarian crises.
