How can the United States and Europe improve the effectiveness
and impact of their humanitarian assistance efforts? A team of
scholars and practitioners led by the Global Public Policy
Institute and the Center for Transatlantic Relations at Johns
Hopkins University conducted field-based empirical research and
engaged policymakers to improve U.S.-European cooperation in four
key areas of humanitarian assistance: linking relief,
rehabilitation, and development; applying best practices and
lessons learned; improving business engagement in emergency relief
and preparedness; and considering civil-military relations in
disaster response.
The authors provide an in-depth analysis of the current state of
the humanitarian policy debate and the relevant institutional setup
in the EU and the U.S. They compare doctrines, programming
principles, and geographical and sectoral priorities and propose
areas where these principles and priorities can be made coherent.
They also offer specific recommendations for greater transatlantic
coherence and effectiveness.
