TY - JOUR PY - 2015// TI - Responding to the call: human security INGOs and countries with a history of civil war JO - International political science review A1 - Murdie, Amanda A1 - Webeck, Sean SP - 3 EP - 19 VL - 36 IS - 1 N2 - When are human security international non-governmental organizations (INGOs) involved in countries with a history of civil war? Though the literature mentions the necessity of these actors in war-torn countries, not much is known about the factors which make INGO involvement more or less likely in countries with a history of civil war. We develop a theory that highlights the role of INGO safety and country salience in encouraging INGO involvement. Looking at the involvement of both development and human rights INGOs in countries with a history of civil war, we find support for our overall argument.
