“Humanitarianism is attempting to adapt to challenges from within and without and the Handbook provides an excellent source book for the uninitiated and initiated. And like any great handbook, it covers the usual suspects and untrammelled topics. Highly recommended.”-- Michael Barnett, Professor, George Washington University, Co-Author of “The End of Humanity: Humanitarianism in a Post-Liberal Age.”“As the humanitarian sector weathers the greatest disruption to its architecture and resource base in decades, the operational and political impediments continue to mount. This volume meets this moment with an impressive breadth and diversity of issue areas and expert contributors assessing recent developments and addressing the question of what comes next. A valuable resource for scholars and practitioners alike.”-- Abby Stoddard, PhD, Humanitarian Outcomes, Author of “Necessary Risks: Professional Humanitarianism and Violence against Aid Workers” "In the context of changing humanitarianism marked by increasingly interconnected crises, this handbook is a timely and much-needed contribution. As fragility and precarity continue to grow across the globe, the Handbook serves as a critical resource for practitioners, policymakers, and researchers seeking to navigate complex humanitarian challenges with greater relevance, responsiveness, and foresight. Its forward-looking perspective and practical insights make it an important guide for advancing effective and context-sensitive humanitarian action in an increasingly uncertain world. Strongly recommended as an essential reference for those committed to shaping more resilient, inclusive, and effective humanitarian action across diverse contexts."-- Dr. Wanjiru Kamau-Rutenberg, Managing Director, Africa - The Alliance of Bioversity and CIAT
