The creation of the review pursues the following ambitions:
- Encourage and participate in the global reflection concerning the humanitarian sector, its practices and its evolution, with a digital open access distribution and a printed edition available by subscription.
- To create a meeting place and a space for dialogue, proximity and a dynamic exchange between researchers in humanities (sociology, history, economy, anthropology…) and practitioners of humanitarian action concerning the challenges that this sector is confronted with.
- To give a broader international audience to a specific approach of humanitarian action rooted in the “without borders” movement, through the pooling of resources, thinking and projects.
- Stimulate the dialogue and exchanges in these fields between researchers and practitioners from the countries of the North and the South.
To know more about the aims of the project initiators, we invite you to read the Editorial of the Inaugural Issue.
Humanitarian Alternatives is characterised by the publication of original contributions, validated by a reading committee and an editorial committee independent from the financial partners. Each issue is built around a “Focus” theme and the following categories: Perspectives, Ethics, Transitions, Innovations, Reportage and Culture. In 2016, the three issues published where focused on the Ebola Crisis (February), the Humanitarian World Summit (May) and the forced migrations (November).
