Rethinking Impartial Humanitarianism: Lessons from the Recent History of the Asia-Pacific Region

今天，澳大利亚越来越多地参与复杂的国际人道主义任务，涉及与其他国家和国际非政府组织的合作。这些行动对澳大利亚与其他国家的关系产生了深远的影响。通过对亚太地区主要案例研究的调查，该项目将加深对公正的人道主义行动的长期经验、可能性和局限性的了解。因此，它将促进关于人道主义的全球辩论，并使澳大利亚在应对本地区和更广泛的世界人道主义危机时更明智地参与其中。

Australia today is increasingly involved in complex international humanitarian missions, involving cooperation with other nations and with international non-government organizations. These actions have profound implications for relationships between Australia and other countries. Through an investigation of key case studies from the Asia-Pacific region, this project will create a deeper understanding of the long-term experiences, possibilities and limitations of impartial humanitarian action. It will thus contribute to global debates about humanitarianism, and to better-informed Australian engagement in responding to humanitarian crises in our region and the wider world.
