The book examines the reasons behind accusations of dysfunctional humanitarian identities and the loss of space for impartial action, presenting opportunities for the construction of a less exceptional space within the humanitarian sector.

Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing Plc
The book delves into the reasons behind accusations of dysfunctional humanitarian identities and the loss of space for impartial action. It employs a combination of practical examples in case studies from the field and a theoretical and philosophical approach to questions of voluntary service, community, and identity to reexamine the exceptional discourse that shapes these identities and drives humanitarian response in complex emergency environments. By acknowledging both the strengths and limitations of its social and political agency, the study offers opportunities for the creation of a less exceptional space, or "niche" within the humanitarian sector, where the focus is on an ordinary humanitarian society rather than an ordered humanitarian system.
