This collection offers insights of the international humanitarian
system, considering what constitutes humanitarianism in
Asia-Pacific, and how it shapes policy and practice in the region
and globally. It adds to the conversation on reforming the global
humanitarian system by providing the space to share perspectives on
humanitarian action from our place in the world. The authors answer
these questions by focusing on a range of issues from national to
sectoral perspectives to relations between 'traditional' and
'emerging' players, concluding that the dynamics of the
humanitarian system from the perspectives of the Asia-Pacific are
rooted in their localized experiences and built outwards. The first
significant trend is that understandings of humanitarianism in the
Asia-Pacific are primarily shaped by the experience of disasters at
home. Second, national governments play a dominant role in
humanitarian affairs in the region. Finally, the humanitarian
landscape in the Asia-Pacific constitutes a diverse yet
under-appreciated set of actors. This book is based on the RSIS
Conference on Asia and the Humanitarian World held in 2019 in
Singapore. It is relevant to students, scholars, practitioners and
policymakers with an interest in humanitarian assistance, disaster
management, strategic studies and international relations in
Asia-Pacific.
