在整个1990年代，人道主义干预主义处于十字路口，关于境内外权利和义务的观念与国际国内冲突现实发生冲突，最基本的人权遭到最残酷的侵犯。这种对人道主义危机日益增长的认识是由更加全球化的媒体促成的，这种媒体越来越多地塑造公众对遥远危机、公众舆论和政治决策的看法。
克拉克研究了公众话语和特定概念（包括伦理和法律性质的概念）在多大程度上影响了英国报纸对1994年卢旺达危机的报道，反过来，这些报道又在多大程度上影响了英国议会对危机的反应。通过他开发和应用更广泛的方法论方法，结合定量和定性分析，这本书提供了对媒体报道、议会辩论和政策制定之间关系的更全面理解，以及全球化媒体在这一过程中发挥的核心作用。
这项工作结合了媒体的伦理、法律和实证分析，以获得对媒体与公共政策关系的化学性质的更具凝聚力的理解，毕业生和学者将对一系列领域感兴趣，包括种族灭绝研究、保护责任、媒体与政治以及国际关系。
British Media and the Rwandan Genocide
Series: Global Institutions
Throughout the 1990s, humanitarian interventionism sat at a crossroads, where ideas about rights and duties within and beyond borders collided with an international reality of civil conflict where the most basic human rights were violated in the most brutal manner. This growing awareness of humanitarian crises has been enabled by a more globalized media which increasingly shapes public perceptions of distant crises, public opinion, and political decision-making.
Clarke examines the extent to which the public discourse, and particular concepts, including those of an ethical and legal nature, influenced British newspaper coverage of the 1994 crisis in Rwanda, and, in turn, the extent to which that coverage influenced the British Parliament’s response to the crisis. Through his development and application of a broader methodological approach that combines both quantitative and qualitative analyses, the book offers a fuller understanding of the relationship between media coverage, parliamentary debate, and policy formulation, and the central role that the globalized media plays in this process.
Integrating ethics, law and empirical analysis of the media to obtain a more cohesive understanding of the chemistry of the media-public policy nexus, this work will be of interest to graduates and scholars in a range of areas, including Genocide Studies, the Responsibility to Protect, the Media & Politics and International Relations.
