GEOG 66 Geopolitics of Humanitarianism

 In this course, students will critically examine the dramatic changes to the geopolitics of humanitarian intervention, development, and capacity-building since the end of the Cold War. The end of the Cold War saw the transformation of humanitarianism from a marginal position to the center of international policy and a rapid increase in militarized humanitarian interventions. The “new humanitarianism” led to a change from needs-based to rights-based humanitarian interventionism, transforming humanitarian action from short-term emergency aid to long-term involvement, assistance, and capacity building.
