Reviews for The Good Project: Humanitarian Relief NGOs and the Fragmentation of Reason
The Good Project is a highly welcome and original contribution to our knowledge of contemporary humanitarianism. Drawing from sociological institutionalism and Pierre Bourdieu, and positioning herself between studies that fetishize humanitarian ideas and critiques that vilify the compromise of those ideals, Krause uncovers some of the central practices and driving logics of humanitarianism. (Michael Barnett, George Washington University)
