Humanitarianism under threat in Sudan. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, November 2009, Pages: 72
The expulsion of 13 international humanitarian organizations at the beginning of March from the country that hosts the largest humanitarian mission in the world has raised essential questions reflecting the nature of humanitarian missions today. Largely through the case of the humanitarian crises in Sudan, the book draws attention to the effects of the multiple transformations within both human security and humanitarian paradigms on the humanitarian organizations' ability to effectively respond to emergency needs and alleviate human suffering. While evaluating the changing relationship between humanitarian action and politics, this research paper explicitly argues that the “new” humanitarianism and its tendency to focus on root causes of conflict- induced crisis continually jeopardizes the tension between need- based life-saving activities and longer-term objectives of achieving human development and state-building.
