Tectonics, Politics and Ethics: The Tsunami and Its Aftermath
The Dec. 26, 2004, tsunami in Southern Asia killed hundreds of thousands, wreaking havoc and captivating the world's attention. The international response may well rival the reaction to the Ethiopian famine decades ago. But how has this humanitarian response differed, if at all, from the response to other crises? The Humanitarian Affairs Program at the School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA), together with the Earth Institute, the South Asia Institute, the Weatherhead East Asian Institute, the Mailman School of Public Health and the Program in International Media and Communications, hosted a day-long event to discuss the implications of the tsunami as a catalyst for systemic reform of industrialized countries' approach to relief and development.
