NEW on the blog 📣   📝 Cooperation in Crisis (Part one): The impact of US aid agency shutdowns 
Professor Bernhard Reinsberg, Dr Cecilia Corsini @cecicors.bsky.social, and Dr Giuseppe Zaccaria (@uofgsps.bsky.social)   Read: www.gla.ac.uk/research/az/... 1/3

A transactional approach to humanitarian aid, will lead to pillaging natural resources & land grabs, global poverty & inequality will get worse. This is a colonial model of aid, largely rejected by the world, but espoused by China. It's a race to the bottom & a very dark future for most people. 3/3

Happy to announce that I defended my DPhil thesis on inter-IO competition in humanitarian governance last month. I’m grateful to many people, but none more so than to my supervisor, Ranjit Lall, Richard Caplan, @andrearuggeri.bsky.social @ox.ac.uk & to @stephofmann.bsky.social for great comments!

I've seen so many great starter packs, but I've yet to encounter one on int'l organizations and cooperation. So, I made one. It is no doubt incomplete, but I hope you find it helpful nonetheless. Feel free to circulate and, if you have suggestions on who to add, send them my way! go.bsky.app/RbHqH38
