  Ian Smillie and Larry Minear probe the reasons behind governmental and nongovernmental responses to urgent human need. They explain why some crises get the lion's share of attention and resources. Contrasting cases illustrate how foreign policy and domestic politics have shaped what has become the business of humanitarianism.
