Like many other areas of life, humanitarian practice and thinking
are being transformed by information and communications technology.
Despite this, the growing digitization of humanitarianism has been
a relatively unnoticed dimension of global order. Based on more
than seven years of data collection and interdisciplinary research,
#Help presents a ground-breaking study of digital humanitarianism
and its ramifications for international law and politics. Global
problems and policies are being reconfigured, regulated, and
addressed through digital interfaces developed for humanitarian
ends. #Help analyses how populations, maps, and emergencies take
shape on the global plane when given digital form and explores the
reorientation of nation states' priorities and practices of
governing around digital data collection imperatives. This book
also illuminates how the growing prominence of digital interfaces
in international humanitarian work is sustained and shaped by law
and policy. #Help reveals new vectors of global inequality and new
forms of global relation taking effect in the here and now. To
understand how major digital platforms are seeking to extend their
serviceable lives, and to see how global order might take shape in
the future, it is essential to grasp the perils and possibilities
of digital humanitarianism. #Help will transform thinking about
what is at stake in the use of digital interfaces in the
humanitarian field and about how, where, and for whom we are making
the global order of tomorrow.
