This presentation will offer a critique of common places like the global, cosmopolitan nature of interwar humanitarianism, reassessing its colonial, racist and civilizational stances, its inherent arrogance and redemptive ambitions in the first half of the 20th century (and beyond). The draft paper offers a different perspective on present scholarly works on the so-called nexus between relief and rehabilitation or the alleged separation of short-term aid and development programs.
