In the humanitarian field those we rather mockingly call "French
doctors" seem always to be in the vanguard, the first to arrive in
any critical situation. If they hold such a position in modern
humanitarian intervention it is because Medecins Sans Frontieres,
and its 'little sister' Medecins du Monde, have drawn on the
experiences of other organizations gradually to develop their
particular brand of intervention; France was after all the last to
join the group of so-called "founder democracies" in the
humanitarian field.
This detailed study of the comparative history of humanitarianism
reveals that it was by learning from forms of action devised by
agencies in the United States, Great Britain and Switzerland, that
MSF, MDM and many others sought to combine relief practices (learnt
from the Red Cross) with efforts to mobilize public opinion (using
strategies invented by Amnesty International) in the way that they
do.
The contributors assess the competing French and "Anglo-Saxon"
models of intervention and propose approaches to humanitarianism
for the twenty-first century.
