Humanitarian action and intervention is an important and necessary force in the world today. Sometimes however, these efforts can become very flawed and can even hinder more than help. For this episode, Professor Joost Herman visits the lab to discuss his publication "Building on the capacities of crisis-affected populations: From victims to actors" in the journal ‘Development Policy Review’, research that addresses the challenges inherent in disaster response and humanitarian action. As Joost explains, such efforts must be carefully planned and coordinated, building upon contextual knowledge and research. Joost highlights the crucial role of higher education in building resilient societies across the globe, exploring how processes of globalisation, development and humanitarian action are intertwined.

人道主义行动无疑是当今世界不可或缺的力量，在世界人道主义日（8月19日）到来之际，我们不禁思考：当灾难与危机降临，人道主义行动如何才能真正守护人类的尊严与希望？

本期《Beyond the Books》节目特别邀请到国际人道主义领域的资深专家——Joost Herman 教授。通过其发表于《发展政策评论》期刊的论文《构建危机受影响群体的能力：从受害者到行动者》，他的研究直面灾害应对与人道主义行动中的固有挑战，并提出解决方案。
