Yet we are not all vulnerable in the same way, and not all vulnerabilities are equally recognised or cared for. This transdisciplinary volume considers how vulnerability and care are shaped by relations of power within contemporary contexts of war, development, environmental degradation, sexual violence, aging populations and economic precarity. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIt proposes that care for vulnerable populations or individuals is inseparable from other political processes of recognition, welfare, healthcare and security, whilst also exploring vulnerability as a shared, generative condition that makes caring possible. Ethnographic and narrative accounts of vulnerable life and caring relations in various geographical regions - including Japan, Uganda, Micronesia, Iraq, Mexico, the UK and the US - are interspersed with perspectives from philosophy, International Relations, social and cultural theory, and more, resulting in a compelling series of intellectual exchanges, creative frictions and provocative insights.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVictoria Browne, \u003cem\u003eSenior Lecturer in Politics, Oxford Brookes University\u003c\/em\u003e, Jason Danely, \u003cem\u003eSenior Lecturer in Anthropology of Japan, Oxford Brookes University\u003c\/em\u003e, Doerthe Rosenow, \u003cem\u003eSenior Lecturer in International Relations, Oxford Brookes University\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eVictoria Browne is Senior Lecturer in Politics at Oxford Brookes University, specialising in feminist theory and philosophy.
