Abstract

How has the international community responded to humanitarian crises after the end of the Cold War? While optimistic ideational perspectives on global governance stress the importance of humanitarian norms and argue that humanitarian crises have been increasingly addressed, more skeptical realist accounts point to material interests and maintain that these responses have remained highly selective. In empirical terms, however, we know very little about the actual extent of selectivity since, so far, the international community’s reaction to humanitarian crises has not been systematically examined. This article addresses this gap by empirically examining the extent and the nature of the selectivity of humanitarian crises. To do so, the most severe humanitarian crises in the post-Cold War era are identified and examined for whether and how the international community responded. This study considers different modes of crisis response (ranging from inaction to military intervention) and different actors (including states, international institutions, and nonstate actors), yielding a more precise picture of the alleged “selectivity gap” and a number of theoretical implications for contemporary global security governance.

In 1992, for example, former Secretary General Boutros Boutros-Ghali accused western states of waging “a rich man’s war in Yugoslavia while not lifting a finger to save Somalia from disintegration” (Hirsch and Oakley 1995, 37). Pointing to the intervention in Kosovo, his successor, Kofi Annan, stated that “[i]f the new commitment to intervention in the face of extreme suffering is to retain the support of the world’s peoples, it must be—and must be seen to be—fairly and consistently applied, irrespective of region or nation. Humanity, after all, is indivisible” (Damrosch 2000, 106).

Most definitions of humanitarian crises include these four dimensions: armed conflict, displacement, hunger, and disease. Some also add economic crisis or state collapse (see Natsios 1997; Chojnacki 2002; Weiss 2005).

India (Kashmir) and Tajikistan are included since they show a high level of armed violence but fall very slightly below the threshold for the indicator “hunger.”

However, states and international organizations may sometimes use transnationally operating private military companies when they intervene in civil conflicts (Binder 2007).

In the case of bilateral assistance, funds are allocated as “earmarked contributions” to NGOs and international institutions. Multilateral relief, in contrast, consists of “nonearmarked” contributions (MacRae 2002, 12).
