But how are these new global networks transforming the politics and power dynamics of humanitarian policy and practice? In New Humanitarianism and the Crisis of Charity, Michael Mascarenhas considers that issue using water management projects in India and Rwanda as case studies. Mascarenhas analyzes the complex web of agreements -both formal and informal-that are made between businesses, governments, and aid organizations, as well as the contradictions that arise when capitalism meets humanitarianism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNew Humanitarianism\u003c\/em\u003e would be an excellent addition to courses on development, inequality, public policy, and globalization, and it could (maybe should) be read by an audience beyond sociologists.\u003c\/p\u003e * American Journal of Sociology *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements \u003cbr\u003eIntroduction \u003cbr\u003e1.
