Soaring poverty levels and 24-hour media coverage of global
disasters have caused a surge in the number of international
non-governmental organizations that address suffering on a massive
scale. But how are these new global networks transforming the
politics and power dynamics of humanitarian policy and practice? In
New Humanitarianism and the Crisis of Charity, Michael Mascarenhas
considers that issue using water management projects in India and
Rwanda as case studies. Mascarenhas analyzes the complex web of
agreements -both formal and informal-that are made between
businesses, governments, and aid organizations, as well as the
contradictions that arise when capitalism meets humanitarianism.
