Recenzii

“Nobody is under the illusion that humanitarian work is easy or convenient. What Ahmad and Smith have achieved in this volume, moreover, is a powerful challenge to the idea that it is unquestionably ‘right.’”

“Powerfully depicts the ethical challenges pervading a world which deliberately generates so much human suffering through disasters and conflict. The chapters demonstrate what we can do to help, despite the moral entanglements of today’s humanitarian labyrinth.”

“Brings fresh thinking to the field of practical ethics in aid, and helps to bridge the divide between academics and practitioners. It will help field teams with the practical problems that they face in delivering change within today’s highly politicized aid environments.”

“Remarkably interdisciplinary, deeply thought-provoking, and relentlessly practical, Humanitarian Action and Ethics will be instructive to scholars, practitioners, and the interested public alike.”

“An important and valuable book on the ethical challenges arising in humanitarian action. It highlights the complex range of challenges, while also presenting practical and constructive recommendations from authors who have worked on the front line of humanitarian crises.”

“Ahmad and Smith expertly dissect the moral and ethical dilemmas inherent in the delivery of humanitarian assistance, helping aid workers develop the practical approaches needed for effective responses.”
