From natural disaster areas to conflict zones, humanitarian workers
today find themselves operating in diverse and difficult
environments. While humanitarian work has always presented unique
ethical challenges, such efforts are now further complicated by the
impact of globalization, the escalating refugee crisis, and
mounting criticisms of established humanitarian practice. Featuring
contributions from humanitarian practitioners, health
professionals, and social and political scientists, this book
explores the question of ethics in modern humanitarian work,
drawing on the lived experience of humanitarian workers themselves.
Its essential case studies cover humanitarian work in countries
ranging from Haiti and South Sudan to Syria and Iraq, and address
issues such as gender based violence, migration, and the growing
phenomenon of 'volunteer tourism'. Together, these contributions
offer new perspectives on humanitarian ethics, as well as insight
into how such ethical considerations might inform more effective
approaches to humanitarian work.
