In addressing humanitarian crises, the international community has
long understood the need to extend beyond providing immediate
relief, and to engage with long-term recovery activities and the
prevention of similar crises in the future. However, this continuum
from short-term relief to rehabilitation and development has often
proved difficult to achieve. This book aims to shed light on the
continuum of humanitarian crisis management, particularly from the
viewpoint of major bilateral donors and agencies. Focusing on cases
of armed conflicts and disasters, the authors describe the
evolution of approaches and lessons learnt in practice when moving
from emergency relief to recovery and prevention of future crises.
Drawing on an extensive research project conducted by the Japan
International Cooperation Agency Research Institute, this book
compares how a range of international organizations, bilateral
cooperation agencies, NGOs, and research institutes have approached
the continuum in international humanitarian crisis management. The
book draws on six humanitarian crises case studies, each resulting
from armed conflict or natural disasters: Timor-Leste, South Sudan,
the Syrian crisis, Hurricane Mitch in Honduras, the Indian Ocean
earthquake and tsunami in Indonesia, and Typhoon Yolanda. The book
concludes by proposing a common conceptual framework designed to
appeal to different stakeholders involved in crisis management.
Following on from the World Humanitarian Summit, where a new way of
working on the humanitarian-development nexus was highlighted as
one of five major priority trends, this book is a timely
contribution to the debate which should interest researchers of
humanitarian studies, conflict and peace studies, and disaster
risk-management.
