Increasingly humanitarian NGOs operate in the context of armed
conflicts where the security risks are higher than in contexts of
natural disaster. Working in Afghanistan, Somalia, Sudan, South
Sudan, Pakistan and Sri Lanka is particularly dangerous for
humanitarians. This existential threat affects the physical
existence of aid workers and the implementation of humanitarian
programs, and the core beliefs of humanitarians and the underlying
principles of humanitarian action. For NGOs it is difficult to
accept that they are attacked despite their good intentions,
sometimes even by the very communities they seek to help. For these
reasons, humanitarian NGOs have to change their approaches to
security by not only adapting their policies, procedures and
structures to the changing environment, but also reviewing the
underlying principles of their work. This book contributes to
debates by demonstrating how issues of (in)security affect
humanitarian NGOs and the humanitarian identity, situating the
structural changes within the humanitarian NGO community in the
context of conflict aid governance and explains how non-state
actors establish their own governance structures, independent from
state-sponsored solutions, and contributes to the emerging
literature on the redefinition of the concept of epistemic
communities.
