Abstract
How universal is humanitarianism? Does it belong to the imaginary and politics of the West, not only that of so-called humanitarian organisations, such as Doctors Without Borders, Doctors of the World, Oxfam, Care, Unicef, but also that of states leading alleged humanitarian military interventions, like in Somalia, northern Iraq, former Yugoslavia and even Libya, or should it be recognised in other parts of the world in the form of vernacular humanitarianisms? This is the main question posed by the authors of this fascinating set of articles.
