Product Description
Review
'The idea of contrasting French and British approaches to humanitarian action and simultaneously questioning the adequacy of a simple dichotomy between the two is worthwhile. Key issues - about the nature of humanitarianism, the relationships between humanitarianism and development, the questions of independence and neutrality - are discussed in novel ways and the differing assumptions of the authors force readers to think about their own positions.' --Professor Michael Newman, author, Humanitarian Intervention: Confronting the Contradictions
'Many Ways to Intervene is a unique book on humanitarian aid in emergency settings. For the first time, through a series of chapters from respected academics and practitioners, the differences and similarities between the French and Anglo-Saxon approaches to the delivery of humanitarian aid are analysed from a variety of perspectives. The description of the historical foundations of international assistance both in France and in the United Kingdom brings a new light to the political role of international NGOs. This important book will be of interest to all actors in the field of humanitarian aid, including policy makers, donors, implementers and academics.' --Professor Peter Piot, Director of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine
