Humanitarianism and the Quantification of Human Needs: Minimal Humanity

By Joel Glasman

Book Overview

This book provides the first historical inquiry into the quantification of needs in humanitarian assistance. Ultimately the book argues that we cannot understand the global humanitarian aid movement, if we do not understand how humanitarian agencies made human suffering commensurable across borders in the first place.
