On May 19, the Brookings Institution-University of Bern Project on Internal Displacement will explore the role of public diplomacy in humanitarian crises, assessing the benefits and costs for governments and other organizations when they offer relief assistance after large-scale disasters. Topics to be discussed include: the extent to which humanitarian response is shaped by foreign policy or institutional concerns; the lessons learned from previous experiences; ways to deliver humanitarian assistance both to meet the needs of the victims and to enhance the standing of governments providing assistance; and whether public diplomacy in humanitarian crises can have negative effects.

Raj Desai and Homi Kharas compare these two events and discuss how private aid can help to relieve global poverty. Read More
