A picture says more than...what the UN looks like


Sometimes there are these rare moments when the anthropologist in me gets really excited. A friend of mine who works for the UN in Kenya allowed me to share this fantastic artefact, a picture taken at the end of the visit of three senior UN officials, WFP's Josette Sheeran, UN Women's Michelle Bachelet and UN High Commissioner for Refugees António Guterres to the ‘world’s largest refugee camp’ in Dadaab.
It’s global multiculturalism in a nutshell; if somebody asks me ‘what does it look like to work for the UN?’ I will say ‘just like this’:

Handbook on Humanitarianism and Inequality - Chapter 13 – Citizen’s groups and grassroots humanitarianism

Image
Every two weeks I am going to feature one of the chapters of our Handbook on Humanitarianism and Inequality which was published in spring 2024. This week we are taking a closer look at Chapter 13 - Citizen’s groups and grassroots humanitarianism - contributed by Shoma Choudhury Lahiri. From the introduction Post disaster reconstruction in the Global South since early 2000s is marked by ‘the increasing involvement of non-Western aid actors including a widening range of state and non-state organisations based within Asia’ ( Feener and Daly, 2016: 393 ). What characterises the terrain is a growth of humanitarian involvement of new donors and actors like non-governmental organisations, civil society groups, diaspora groups, faith-based organisations, local self-help groups, and individual citizens who direct their resources and labour to a plethora of activities aimed at improving human lives. Citizens’ initiatives are a relatively under-theorised area in humanitarian studies, not onl...

Handbook on Humanitarianism and Inequality - Chapter 14 - Humanitarianism and the military

Image
Every two weeks I am going to feature one of the chapters of our Handbook on Humanitarianism and Inequality which was published in spring 2024. This week we are taking a closer look at Chapter 14 – Humanitarianism and the military - contributed by Silke Roth. From the introduction The concept of ‘military interventions’, i.e. the use of military force to address conflicts and human rights violations, and subsequent debates about the ‘shrinking humanitarian space’ became prominent in the 1990s during the peacekeeping missions in former Yugoslavia, Somalia, Afghanistan, and Iraq ( Chandler, 2001 ; De Torrente, 2004 ). However, the entanglement of military action and humanitarian aid has a much longer history going back to the crusades and various patterns of the militarisation of relief organisations can be distinguished ( Perouse de Montclos, 2014 ; see also Terry, 2002 ; Greenburg, 2023 ). This chapter seeks to unravel the entanglements of civilian humanitarian actors and military f...

The dismantling of USAID & the paradoxes of global development

Image
What is happening to USAID now is an unprecedented attack on global development and humanitarianism. If we zoom out a little bit it is also an almost unparalleled moment to revisit some of the great paradoxes of giving aid, of two things being true at the same time and the many shades of grey in-between. The bigger picture that is emerging, not just in the US, but across OECD donors, is that the global, post WWII development consensus is being dismantled and most of the legitimate criticism about the aid-industrial complex is replaced with vindictive, right-wing politics. I am convinced that very little good will come from this “disruption” and that more people globally will be worse off in the aftermath than benefit from short-term notions of cutting off overpaid Western consultants from the taxpayers’ purse. And yet, giving and receiving aid has always be a complicated endeavor and I am going to look at some of the paradoxes that are coming to light right now. Paradox (Merriam-Webst...

Handbook on Humanitarianism and Inequality - Chapter 12 - Subversive humanitarianism

Image
Every two weeks I am going to feature one of the chapters of our Handbook on Humanitarianism and Inequality which was published in spring 2024. This week we are taking a closer look at Chapter 12 – Subversive humanitarianism - contributed by Robin Vandevoordt. From the introduction In recent years, however, scholars have drawn attention to other actors providing material and social support, often under conditions of – sometimes prolonged – emergencies. They have spawned a whole range of new concepts, some of which are embedded within studies of humanitarianism, such as ‘new’, ‘volunteer’ ( Sandri, 2018 ), and ‘South–South’ humanitarianism ( Fiddian-Qasmiyeh 2015a ; 2019 ), while others have emerged from neighbouring fields such as ‘citizen aid’ from development studies ( Fechter and Schwittay, 2019 ; see also Chapter 13 by Choudhury Lahiri on Citizen’s groups and grassroots humanitarianism in this volume ) and ‘inclusive solidarity’ from social movement studies ( Schwiertz and Schwe...

The War That Doesn’t Say Its Name (book review)

Image
I submitted my slightly revised short review of Jason Stearns' The War That Doesn’t Say Its Name – The Unending Conflict in the Congo to Global Responsibility to Protect (GR2P) at the end of 2024. Since the review has not been published yet and the situation in Congo deteriorating as I write this, I find it important to highlight the book. Although published in 2021, it provides an important background to the complexities of the conflict and to the challenges of (liberal) peacebuilding and thereby is a very timely book to pick up! The humanitarian situation in North Kivu is dire with close to three million displaced people in the province,” the truce statement said. “The recent expansion of fighting in North Kivu has prevented humanitarian workers from reaching hundreds of thousands of IDPs in the area around Kanyabayonga and displaced more than 100,000 people from their homes," the statement added. The M23 have almost completely encircled Goma, the capital of North Kivu ...
