商品簡介
"This represents innovative work that is making a difference. Whether affiliated with NGOs, IGOs, government agencies, or academic institutions, humanitarians will benefit greatly."---Jose Ramos-Horta, President of the Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste and 1996 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate
"Van Arsdale and Smith bring a rare combination of qualities to the discussion of contemporary humanitarianism and development in volatile settings. This is a book that one can strongly recommend to applied social scientists, engaged civilian practitioners, government and military personnel, graduate students, and all those who value reading important books. The content is conceptually sound, insightful, ethnographically enriched, methodologically informed, and ethically sensitive and aware. It articulates the interdependencies and complexities of applied work. This book is written with clarity and has broad application for persons working with diverse focal groups in high-risk settings."---Walter Vannette, Northern Arizona University
"Many of us believe we have a moral imperative to help those in need, and so it follows that this humanitarian obligation doesn't stop at the `green zone. How then do citizens safely and effectively step into unsafe territory to better assist the most vulnerable populations? Van Arsdale and smith have studied and actually provided assistance in conflictive and post-conflictive areas since 1975. With the highest ethical standards, they report on what works and doesn't, using examples from their own overseas experience in hostile environments, to bring together current best practices when working at the civilian-military interface. The authors explain the essential need for collaboration and coordination of government and nongovernment organizations to promote human rights and dignity worldwide. They give the foreign-assistance worker pragmatic and ethical guidance for a unified effort so that life-affirming services can be provided wherever they are needed."---Linda Roan, President, eCrossCulture Corporation
