Searching for a New International Humanitarian Order: The Egyptian Red Crescent 1940-1975

该项目旨在从埃及红新月会的角度分析二十世纪后半叶人道主义援助的历史。一方面，这一重点突出了中东对二战后人道主义援助新方向的重要性。另一方面，该项目从非西方的角度对国际组织的转型提供了新的见解，从而有助于研究迄今为止主要由西方行为体主导的人道主义援助历史。它也是对埃及和中东历史研究的补充，因为它强调了阿拉伯个人和组织作为区域和国际行动参与者的核心作用，并将其与西方国家和组织建立关系，这些国家和组织标志着该地区的政治，文化和社会发展。通过分析从第二次世界大战到以色列和埃及之间的战争的中东重大危机期间的不同人道主义机构，该项目最终有助于实现全球历史的目标，即从多角度方法呈现和解释历史现象。

The project aims at analysing the history of humanitarian aid in the second half of the twentieth century from the perspective of the Egyptian Red Crescent. On the one hand, this focus underlines the importance of the Middle East for the new orientation of humanitarin aid after World War Two. On the other hand, it gives new insight into the transformation of international organisations from a Non-Western perspective.The project thus contributes to research on the history of humanitarian aid which, until now, is mainly dominated by Western actors. It is also complementary to studies on the history of Egyptian and the Middle East, as it stresses the central role of Arab individuals and organisations as actors of regional and international action and puts it into relationship with Western states and organisations which have marked the political, cultural and social development of the region after World War Two. By analyzing different humanitarian agencies during major crises in the Middle East from World War Two to the wars between Israel and Egypt, the project finally contributes to the aims of global history which seeks to present and explain historical phenomenons from a mult-perspective approach.
