> Hi,
>
> my colleague Kristina Roepstorff and I, we are seeking other scholars to
> join our panel "India as a humanitarian actor: newbie or old hand?" for
> the upcoming BASAS conferences in Leeds in April 2013.
>
> Please see the following panel abstract:
>
> "India is generally regarded a major recipient of humanitarian and
> development assistance. Recent studies and analyses however draw attention
> to Indias growing importance as humanitarian actor. While still being a
> recipient of development assistance, India increasingly plays an active
> part in humanitarian assistance by channeling funds through multilateral
> organizations and by contributing to policy discussions and innovations.
> At the same time, and in light of the financial crises, traditional donors
> welcome the increasing involvement of non-traditional donors in
> humanitarian assistance.
> Highlighting the shift from recipient to donor, these studies more often
> than not portray India as a new player in the field of humanitarian
> assistance. While Indias engagement in humanitarian assistance has
> certainly taken a new dimension over the last decade, characterized among
> other things by a growing involvement at the international level, Indias
> history and practice of humanitarian assistance has yet to be studied
> systematically. Taking an interdisciplinary and diachronic approach, the
> panel thus explores Indias role in humanitarian assistance from the
> beginning of the 20th century until today. Placing Indias role in
> humanitarian assistance within the broader historical and political
> context, the panel addresses questions regarding the emergence of
> humanitarianism in India, the nature and geographical allocation pattern
> of humanitarian aid over time, and compares Indias role as humanitarian
> actor in the past and present."
>
> We are particular interested in papers dealing with the history of India's
> humanitarian action in the period 1945-1990.
>
> If you are interested, please send us an email or an abstract (150-200
> words). The deadline is 5 Dec. 2013.
