Humanitarian intervention invariably rubs shoulders with politics—awkwardly, and sometimes with tragic results.  Development and Humanitarianism draws from the contents of the acclaimed journal Development in Practice to address the dilemmas that aid agencies and their frontline staff face in interpreting the principles of humanitarianism in situations where they risk being manipulated by political agendas.
Deborah Eade is a writer and editor specializing in international development and humanitarian issues. Tony Vaux is founder of Humanitarian Initiatives.
