Saving the World? A History of Humanitarianism
Explore the origins and evolution of humanitarian ideas and institutions over the 19th and 20th centuries, asking what humanitarianism is, how it operates, and whom it benefits. We trace the global historical processes that have stirred and shaped humanitarian action, from the abolition of the Atlantic slave trade, spread of missionary Christianity, and onset of European colonialism to the Cold War, economic liberalization, and human rights revolution.
