CRG lezingenreeks 'Humanitarian Interventions in Protracted Crises'

HUMANITARIAN INTERVENTIONS IN PROTRACTED CRISES

Does humanitarian aid helps affected people to cope with crises, or have aid and the international response to emergencies become part of the problem? With the changing nature of conflict and the increasing importance of humanitarian aid since the end of the Cold War, the humanitarian sector has often become an important actor in conflict. The emergence of global news media and the presence of international peacekeeping forces in various conflict and post-conflict areas also added to the complexity of aid.

Through four case-based public lectures by international experts and former field workers, the Conflict Research Group wants to discuss and illustrate a number of critical issues of current humanitarian assistance in protracted crises.
