Abstract: Humanitarian aid has moved to the heart of the political debate’, according to Thea Hilhorst, professor of humanitarian aid and reconstruction at Wageningen University. ‘Discussions on humanitarian aid are always centred on the latest crisis. I want to address more fundamental issues’. In doing so, she is asking some difficult questions, based on her experience in Angola, Ethiopia, Bangladesh, and Rwanda. The promotion of disaster preparedness is one way the international community is responding.
