Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

"In her insightful and practical book . Anderson offers the development community an opportunity to, at the least, do no harm. Do No Harm makes an important contribution to an ongoing discussion about how outsiders can play a productive role in preventing and resolving violent conflict."--Ana Grier Cutter, Ethics and International Affairs "NGO staff members are encouraged to put some of their scarce time for learning aside to read this book."--Angela M. Wakhweya, African Studies Quarterly "Provide[s] the reader with short but profound examples of how aid has been given in a range of conflict situations. [Do No Harm] is a well written and a very usable book."--Journal of Peace Research "A book that makes for intriguing reading for all those interested in international affairs and humanitarian efforts from the perspective of those who are actually engaged in it."--Doris H. Gray, International Journal on World Peace The author of Do No Harmchallenges aid agencies to take responsibility for the ways that their assistance affects conflicts. Anderson cites the experiences of aid providers in war-torn societies around the world to show that international assistanceCeven when it is effective in saving lives, alleviating suffering, and encouraging sustainable development--too often reinforces divisions among contending groups. But she more importantly offers hopeful evidence of creative programs that point the way to new approaches to aid. Calling for a redesign of assistance programs so that they do no harm while doing their intended good, she argues further that many opportunities exist for aid workers to positively support the processes by which societies disengage from war.
