<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Mascarenhas analyzes the complex web of agreements --both formal and informal--that are made between businesses, governments, and aid organizations, as well as the contradictions that arise when capitalism meets humanitarianism.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Soaring poverty levels and 24-hour media coverage of global disasters have caused a surge in the number of international non-governmental organizations that address suffering on a massive scale. But how are these new global networks transforming the politics and power dynamics of humanitarian policy and practice? In <i>New Humanitarianism and the Crisis of Charity</i>, Michael Mascarenhas considers that issue using water management projects in India and Rwanda as case studies. Mascarenhas analyzes the complex web of agreements --both formal and informal--that are made between businesses, governments, and aid organizations, as well as the contradictions that arise when capitalism meets humanitarianism.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><em>New Humanitarianism</em> would be an excellent addition to courses on development, inequality, public policy, and globalization, and it could (maybe should) be read by an audience beyond sociologists.</p></p>-- "American Journal of Sociology"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Michael Mascarenhas is Associate Professor in the Science and Technology Studies Department at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
