Soaring poverty levels and 24-hour media coverage of global disasters have caused a surge in the number of international non-governmental organizations that address suffering on a massive scale. But how are these new global networks transforming the politics and power dynamics of humanitarian policy and practice?

Mascarenhas analyzes the complex web of agreements --both formal and informal--that are made between businesses, governments, and aid organizations, as well as the contradictions that arise when capitalism meets humanitarianism.
