Sommario/riassunto

This book examines the multiple humanitarianisms of today as a testing ground for new ways of global cooperation. It studies general trends in the contemporary transformation of humanitarianism and investigates individual cases of how humanitarian actors cooperate with others on the ground. This volume offers a highly innovative, empirically informed account of global humanitarianism from the point of view of cooperation research. The internationally renowned contributors analyse broad trends and present case studies based on meticulous fieldwork.
