In the twentieth century, aid workers assisted victims of war and earthquakes, delivered food, supported health care, provided childcare, or sheltered refugees. The contributors not only reconstruct these diverse histories and their protagonists, but also bring international, national, and local actors together: from grassroots activists to private associations to state-driven "socialist humanitarians" to large Western aid organizations. In doing so, they challenge the often unidirectional, from West-to-East, and asymmetrical perspective on donor-recipient relationships in humanitarian processes. 606 $aHISTORY / Europe / Eastern$2bisacsh 606 $aSOCIAL SCIENCE / Sociology / General$2bisacsh 606 $aPOLITICAL SCIENCE / International Relations / General$2bisacsh 610 0$aactivism 610 0$aaid 610 0$adevelopment 610 0$aEast-Central Europe 610 0$aEastern Europe 610 0$aHumanitarianism 610 0$alocal humanitarian initiatives 610 0$amobilisation 610 0$areliefl wars and conflict 610 0$astate-building 610 0$aCentral Europe 610 0$aRefugees 610 0$aSocialist humanitarianism 610 0$aWelfare 610 0$aTransnational history 610 0$aChild relief 610 0$aPrivate humanitarianism 610 0$aFaith-based humanitarianism 615 7$aHISTORY / Europe / Eastern. 615 7$aSOCIAL SCIENCE / Sociology / General. 615 7$aPOLITICAL SCIENCE / International Relations / General. 702 $aCretu$b Doina Anca 702 $aFrankl$b Michal 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911064914303321 996 $aHumanitarian mobilization in Central and Eastern Europe$94585918 997 $aUNINA
