Humanitarian aid workers increasingly remain present in contexts of violence and are injured, kidnapped, and killed as a result. Since 9/11 and in response to these dangers, aid organizations have fortified themselves to shield their staff and programs from outside threats. In Aid in Danger, Larissa Fast critically examines the causes of violence against aid workers and the consequences of the approaches aid agencies use to protect themselves from attack. Based on more than a decade of research, Aid in Danger explores the assumptions underpinning existing explanations of and responses to violence against aid workers. According to Fast, most explanations of attacks locate the causes externally and maintain an image of aid workers as an exceptional category of civilians. The resulting approaches to security rely on separation and fortification and alienate aid workers from those in need, representing both a symptom and a cause of crisis in the humanitarian system. Missing from most analyses are the internal vulnerabilities, exemplified in the everyday decisions and ordinary human frailties and organizational mistakes that sometimes contribute to the conditions leading to violence. This oversight contributes to the normalization of danger in aid work and undermines the humanitarian ethos. As an alternative, Fast proposes a relational framework that captures both external threats and internal vulnerabilities. By uncovering overlooked causes of violence, Aid in Danger offers a unique perspective on the challenges of providing aid in perilous settings and on the prospects of reforming the system in service of core humanitarian values.

If you have ever donated money to international aid and wondered what it takes to deliver the aid on the ground then this is the book for you. The dangers and high risk that sometimes accompany the humanitarian aid workers in conflict and disaster zones. Follow one man's journey through some of the most dangerous landscapes helping aid organisations to remain safe while delivering vital aid in war, post conflict and disaster zones throughout his 15-year journey. The dangers to aid workers has never before been so acute; the rise of violent extremist groups has shown a direct and targeted threat to those who work in International Aid Delivery. Executions, Kidnap and torture are all real threats, the risk of being targeted and taken are real, yet the aid workers still volunteer to travel to far-flung locations to deliver life-saving aid to communities and to people they have never met and know very little about. Follow the emotions of one man, understand his mistakes and his personal humanity, read the terrifying detail of several close calls on his personal safety and the lengths he went through to ensure aid was delivered. Hear the relived accounts of emergency evacuations, often under fire and the heartbreak of losing one of your own with the dangers involved when recovering the bodies of co-workers. All based on true events. Forget the stories of those who stereo-type aid workers as tree-huggers and do-gooders, while the work they do is for good, they are people who put themselves in harm's way to help others, they face risks that can end their lives, all with the motivation to help those in dire need of support and to deliver life-saving aid, often delivering the aid bought with your donation.

Years of tremendous growth in response to complex emergencies have left a mark on the humanitarian sector. Various matters that once seemed settled are now subjects of intense debate. What is humanitarianism? Is it limited to the provision of relief to victims of conflict, or does it include broader objectives such as human rights, democracy promotion, development, and peacebuilding? For much of the last century, the principles of humanitarianism were guided by neutrality, impartiality, and independence. More recently, some humanitarian organizations have begun to relax these tenets. The recognition that humanitarian action can lead to negative consequences has forced humanitarian organizations to measure their effectiveness, to reflect on their ethical positions, and to consider not only the values that motivate their actions but also the consequences of those actions. In the indispensable Humanitarianism in Question, Michael Barnett and Thomas G. Weiss bring together scholars from a variety of disciplines to address the humanitarian identity crisis, including humanitarianism's relationship to accountability, great powers, privatization and corporate philanthropy, warlords, and the ethical evaluations that inform life-and-death decision making during and after emergencies.
