L'ouvrage est issu des réflexions annuelles menées depuis 2002 par le collectif "Les Lampions". "Quand nous avons créé ces journées d'études nous ne pensions pas 12 ans après être amenés à façonner un recueil de nos textes les plus significatifs pour traduire notre approche et notre philosophie autour du concept de l'humanitaire. Aujourd'hui, à l'occasion des 20 ans de l'association, c'est avec enthousiasme et rigueur que nous avons capitalisé le travail de ces rencontres, afin de proposer des bases de réflexions et d'actions aux futurs intervenants des secteurs sanitaire, médicosocial, de développement et d'entraide… Alain Clément nous a rejoint dans cette réalisation en illustrant amicalement ces récits de vie."

Disasters can strike often and with unexpected fury, resulting in devastating consequences for local populations that are insufficiently prepared and largely dependent upon foreign aid in the wake of such catastrophes. International law can play a significant role in recovery after natural disasters; however, without clear legal frameworks, aid may be stopped, delayed, or even hijacked - placing the intended recipients in critical condition. This edited volume brings together experts, emerging scholars, and practitioners from North America, Japan, New Zealand, and Australia to analyze the evolution of international disaster law as a field that encompasses new ideas about human rights, sovereignty, and technology. Chapters focus on specific natural disasters like Hurricane Katrina, Cyclone Nargis, and Typhoon Haiyan in addition to volcanic and earthquake activity, wildfires, and desertification. This book begins a dialogue on the profound implications of the evolution of international law as a tool for disaster response.

Since the humanitarian response to the 1994 Rwanda genocide, there has been a growing body of literature on quality and accountability in humanitarian action. One of the most recent trends has been a focus on 'humanitarian cooperation' between the governments of disaster affected countries and other humanitarian actors. The research presented in this book builds on this trend by comparing two governmental recovery agencies, namely the Interim Haiti Recovery Commission (IHRC) and the Aceh Nias Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Agency (BRR).
