- Synopsis
- Waters (sociology, California State University) examines the organization of refugee relief programs. He describes the practical, political, and moral assumptions of the international refugee relief regime, emphasizing that agencies delivering humanitarian relief are embedded in rationalized bureaucracies whose values are determined by their institutional frameworks. He focuses on the Rwanda Relief Operations (1994-96), analyzing the crisis with an assumption that there is a basic contradiction between the demands of the bureaucratized organization and the need of relief agencies to generate the emotional publicity to sustain the interest of donors.
