Description
Organizing Disaster: The Construction of Humanitarianism provides a critical perspective on how humanitarian organizations structure their responses to crises and disasters. Adam Rostis examines the management practices, institutional frameworks, and organizational processes that underpin contemporary humanitarian work.
The book challenges conventional assumptions about humanitarian action, revealing how organizational structures and management decisions influence disaster response outcomes. Through rigorous analysis, Rostis demonstrates that humanitarianism is not simply a neutral or purely altruistic endeavor, but rather a constructed system shaped by institutional interests, power dynamics, and organizational cultures.
As part of the Critical Management Studies series, this work contributes to broader conversations about how management practices intersect with social responsibility, ethics, and global crisis response. It will appeal to scholars of management studies, humanitarian professionals, and those interested in understanding the organizational dimensions of disaster relief and international aid.
