The International Workshop "Reconsidering the Basic Human Needs for the East African Pastoralists: Towards the Localization of Humanitarian Assistance"
Organizer: The Localization Project for the New Framework of Humanitarian Aids in East African Pastoral Societies (http://www.localizationtoafrica.org/?lang=en)
Co-organizer: Center for Global Studies, Graduate School of International Relations, University of Shizuoka (http://ceglos.u-shizuoka-ken.ac.jp/en.html)
Abstract
This workshop explores the possibilities of localizing humanitarian assistance frameworks to East African pastoralists. It is incorrect to depict the livelihood of East African pastoralists without considering humanitarian assistance and its secondary effects. However, too little attention has been paid to the issue of humanitarian assistance among East African pastoral societies.
Many studies revealed that humanitarian assistance is not necessarily a neutral, impartial, and apolitical act. In addition, cultural diversity has not yet been examined thoroughly in humanitarian research, although it is not an acultural practice.
In order to respond to the cultural diversity and current reality of the transformation, I introduce the “articulation sphere approach,” which focuses on the intermediate realm between the local and the universal. This approach may not only show us an initial sign of the self-help efforts of the victims themselves after disasters, but also opens up the possibility of localizing universal humanitarian assistance frameworks from below.
Date: December 10-11, 2015
