'This is a sophisticated and fascinating journey to the places where the European response to humanitarian emergencies is made. It uncovers the roots of Europe's reputation in humanitarian aid and explains the Brussels game that mixes up the Union's programmes and state synergies. A must to understand the European policy of humanitarian assistance.' Fulvio Attina, University of Catania, Italy 'This book shows that, despite expectations, multilateral humanitarian interventions by the European Union and bilateral ones by its member states are better explained by the systemic characteristics of humanitarian crises and there is no difference in the patterns and decision-making of humanitarian intervention between ex-colonial and non-colonial EU member states. This clearly written study breaks new and very interesting ground.' Pierre Allan, University of Geneva, Switzerland
