Series: Humanitarianism: Key Debates and New Approaches

This book provides a historical account of the NGO CARE as one of the largest humanitarian NGOs worldwide from 1945 to 1980. Readers interested in international relations and humanitarian hunger prevention are provided with fascinating insights into the economic and business-related aspects of Western non-governmental politics, fundraising and philanthropic giving in this field. Not only does the book contribute to ongoing research about the rise of NGOs in the international realm, it also offers very rich empirical material on the political implications of private and governmental international aid in a world marked by the order of the Cold War, decolonialization processes and the struggle of so-called Third World countries to catch up with modern Western consumer societies. -- .
