Resource Scarcity in Austere Environments
An Ethical Examination of Triage and Medical Rules of Eligibility
About this book series
The interdisciplinary book series Military and Humanitarian Health
Ethics fosters an academic dialogue between the well-established disciplines of
military ethics on the one hand and medical ethics, humanitarian ethics and
public health ethics on the other hand. Military and Humanitarian Health Ethics
have emerged as a distinct research area in the last years, triggered among
other things by the unfortunate realities of armed conflicts and other
situations of humanitarian disasters - man-made or natural. The book series focuses
on the increasing amount of ethical challenges while providing medical care
before, during, and after armed conflicts and other emergencies. By combining
practical first-hand experiences from health care providers in the field with
the theoretical analysis of academic experts, such as philosophers and legal
scholars, the book series provides a unique insight into an emerging field of
research of high topical interest. It is the first series in its field and aims
at publishing state-of-the-art research, illustrated and enriched by field
reports and ground experiences from health care providers working in armed
forces or humanitarian organizations.
We welcome proposals for volumes within the broad scope of this interdisciplinary and international book series, especially proposals for books that cover topics of interest for both the military and the humanitarian community, and which try to foster an exchange between the two often separate communities of military and humanitarian health care providers.
