Further Reflections on Humanitarian Action

Originally published in Studies in Emergent Order

The most that an author can hope for is that others will read their work. An even greater honor is when readers take the time to provide thoughtful comments on the content of that work. I truly appreciate that the contributors to this symposium have not only taken the time to read Doing Bad by Doing Good (DBDG), but have also provided thoughtful observations on a variety of themes discussed in, or related to, the book. In what follows I offer my reflections on each of the articles in the volume. I separate my thoughts into several categories which align with the themes of the papers in this issue. Where multiple papers fall into a single category I provide sub-section by the last name of the author(s).
