Abstract

This open access collection of essays explores the emotional agency of images in the construction of 'humanitarian crises' from the nineteenth century to the present. Using the prism of the histories of emotions and the senses, the chapters examine the pivotal role images have in shaping cultural, social and political reactions to the suffering of others and to the establishment of the international networks of solidarity. Questioning certain emotions assumed to underlie humanitarianism such as sympathy, empathy and compassion, they demonstrate how the experience of such emotions has shifted over time. Understanding images as emotional objects, contributors from a wide horizon of disciplines explore how their production, circulation and reception has been crucial to the perception of humanitarian crises in a long-term historical perspective.

Abstract

Korea is often cited as a leading example of how sound economic policies can drive growth and development, blazing a trail from poverty to advanced industrialisation throughout the 1970s and 1980s. Building on its reputation as a development success, Korea now plays a highly valued role on the global stage, sharing its knowledge with others and helping to bridge the divide between developing and developed country interests. Among other issues, this review looks at how Korea shares its own impressive development experience with others and how it is dealing with key challenges in co-ordinating grants and loans across government. It also explores how Korea is expanding its aid programme to work on new priorities such as assistance to fragile and crisis-affected countries.

Abstract

"In May 2016, the World Humanitarian Summit represented a turning point for humanitarian policies. The Summit gave the impetus to seriously reflect on how to operate in environments where people's needs don't coincide anymore with existing mandates and sectors. The OECD believes that an effective humanitarian response is the one that addresses affected people's needs in a timely and efficient manner. One way to measure effectiveness is to ask aid beneficiaries what they think about the aid they get. With this is mind, the OECD initiated a first round of surveys during the cycle 2016-2017 in six countries affected by different type of crisis: Lebanon, Afghanistan, Haiti, Iraq, Somalia and Uganda. Two years after the World humanitarian Summit, the OECD and Ground Truth Solutions took another round of surveys in the same countries, plus Bangladesh. The purpose of this second round of surveys is to assess whether the commitments made at the World Humanitarian Summit, including the Grand Bargain, are having a tangible impact on people's lives in the most difficult contexts in the world. This paper provides some answers to this question."--Page 4 of cover.

Abstract

Foley explores how the doctrine of humanitarian intervention has been used to allow states to invade other nations in the name of human rights. Drawing on his own experience of working in over a dozen conflict and post-conflict zones, he shows how the growing influence of international law has been used to override the sovereignty of the poorest countries in the world.

Abstract

Miljoenen hulpbehoevende mensen streven jaarlijks door rampen of geweld. Om deze nood te kunnen beantwoorden moeten de humanitaire hulp aangepast worden en toetsbaar zijn. Dit werk geeft maatstaven en instrumenten om efficiënt en verantwoord hulp te bieden aan mensen in nood. Het Humanitair Charter is gebasseerd op internationaal recht: mensenrechten, rechten van vluchtelingen; en op methoden van NGO's. Met deze fundamenten geeft het boek richting aan humanitaire organisaties en maakt de resultaten toetsbaar aan maatstaven waardoor de persoon in nood weet wat hij kan verwachten van de internationale gemeenschap.
