Humanitarianism in the Modern World: The Moral Economy of Famine Relief by Georg

Description: Humanitarianism in the Modern World by Georgina Brewis, Steffen Werther, Norbert Götz Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Takes a fresh look at the history of famine relief and humanitarianism through a novel moral economy approach, drawing on case studies of the Great Irish Famine in the 1840s, the famine in Soviet Russia in 1921–3, and the famine in Ethiopia in the mid-1980s. This book is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core. Publisher Description This is an innovative new history of famine relief and humanitarianism. The authors apply a moral economy approach to shed new light on the forces and ideas that motivated and shaped humanitarian aid during the Great Irish Famine, the famine of 1921-1922 in Soviet Russia and the Ukraine, and the 1980s Ethiopian famine. They place these episodes within a distinctive periodisation of humanitarianism which emphasises the correlations with politico-economic regimes: the time of elitist laissez-faire liberalism in the nineteenth century as one of ad hoc humanitarianism; that of Taylorism and mass society from c.1900-1970 as one of organised humanitarianism; and the blend of individualised post-material lifestyles and neoliberal public management since 1970 as one of expressive humanitarianism. The book as a whole shifts the focus of the history of humanitarianism from the imperatives of crisis management to the pragmatic mechanisms of fundraising, relief efforts on the ground, and finance. This book is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core. Author Biography Norbert Götz is a Professor at the Institute of Contemporary History, Södertörn University, Sweden.
