Transforming Humanitarian Partnerships
This book examines how global humanitarian systems shape partnerships in education in emergencies. Focusing on the Syrian refugee crisis and the education response in Lebanon, it reveals how colonial legacies, structural racism, and the marketisation of aid enable Global North actors to dictate policies and practices, while marginalising local voices and knowledge. Yet in moments of crisis, community-led initiatives and smaller partnerships proved to be agile and responsive.
Rather than offering celebratory accounts of Transforming Humanitarian Partnerships, the book draws on rigorous research to foreground the structural inequities that constrain themโwhile also pointing to possibilities for more just, community-driven alternatives. A vital resource for scholars, practitioners, and policymakers, it offers concrete pathways for reshaping humanitarian practice to support sustainable, responsive education for refugee learners.
