| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The present research project analyzed the transformation of humanitarian space and its relationship with counterinsurgency. Before the end of the Cold War, humanitarian space was transformed as a result of some post-colonial conflicts such as the Nigerian civil war. Humanitarian actions were split into two categories: (i) protecting sick and wounded soldiers and civilians and (ii) reporting grave breaches of international humanitarian law. It implies that there is a distinction between legal-discursive humanitarian space and geographical-material humanitarian space. After the end of the Cold War, the development of counterinsurgency operations considerably affected the geographical-material humanitarian space rather than legal-discursive humanitarian space.
