Contested Culture of Humanitarianism: Pollyanna Is Not a Role Model
9th Käte Hamburger Lecture with Thomas G. Weiss
Humanitarians are no longer simply seen as selfless angels. Their motivations and mastery, their principles and products are questioned from within and from without. Understanding the ongoing transformations in contemporary humanitarianism requires examining the nature and evolution of humanitarian culture away from an agreed culture of cooperation to a contested one of competition. What is required is a learning culture for practitioners and a consequentialist ethics more oriented to responsible reflection than rapid reaction.

The 9th Käte Hamburger Lecture with Prof. Thomas G. Weiss will address the topic 'Humanitarianism's Contested Culture'; it is embedded in the conference 'Humanitarianism and Changing Cultures of Cooperation'.
