World politics are still in pre-globalisation mode, with national politics and domestic issues determining the international response of countries much more than the global problems the world faces.

These analyses seek to capture a trend that has been emerging in international politics for some time: the attempt to curb, through territorial hegemony, the actual or threatened loss of control of the political, economic and cultural space that has been triggered by globalisation.

The human rights landscape remains fragile and susceptible to deterioration in many countries where we work. Elections or political transitions in many countries have led to spikes in insecurity and an increased potential for conflict. Local politics will continue to determine shifts in the human rights situation.

People's vulnerability is largely determined by factors of politics (how well government functions and how power is used to benefit all citizens), economics (how income and assets are distributed and taxes used for preparedness) and society (whether some people are suffering discrimination on gender or ethnic basis).

Because assistance in such circumstances focuses on keeping people alive, relief is often described as an apolitical humanitarian project.

Third, the vast majority of humanitarian actors, particularly UN agencies but also many NGOs, will not be able to adopt the ICRC model. Most have dual mandates covering both humanitarian and development assistance. UN agencies will always be accountable to member states through their governing boards and as donors, making them inherently political entities in a way the ICRC (or MSF) is not. As UN entities, they are inevitably linked to the political organs of the UN, especially the Security Council, and most attempts to differentiate between the UN's different roles on the ground have met with little success.

Other activities included mappings of youth politicisation and radicalisation in the country, organising a study trip to Myanmar and, above all, offering safe spaces for the main conflict stakeholders to explore political solutions to the conflict.

In many places, numerous armed groups are engaged in attacks and counter-attacks, and control over territories is constantly changing. Simultaneously, aid has become more politicised. In certain contexts, aid is perceived as part of ideological warfare, and consequently humanitarian workers are not given access or are being directly targeted.

These politicians joined forces with activists and involved the High Council of Women to collectively enhance women's rights and influence in politics.

The environment for humanitarian agencies Pakistan’s domestic politics and international position have important, but under-appreciated, implications for humanitarian agencies responding to the October earthquake; in effect, agencies may find themselves participants in an ongoing process of political realignment aimed, not at the establishment of transparent democratic government, but at the centre’s consolidation of political, administrative and economic control. Few UN or interna- tional agencies have stopped to consider the political environment in which they find themselves.

Without analysis of activities other than the distribution of T-Shelter kits (and their relative and geographic impact), it was difficult to consider other non-permanent solutions, such as reinforcement kits; the appropriateness of T-Shelter kits for non-displaced populations; what non-assisted people would do and when; and trade-offs between alternatives, such as repairs, in terms of pace, cost and appropriateness.

This does not mean that humanitarian actors should get involved in municipal or city politics, the economy and social networks. Instead, it means that a stronger understanding of the urban context will enable more focused interventions that better serve the interests of the displaced and affected host communities, including the local authorities.

This development is primarily motivated by India"s effort to strengthen its position as an emerging international actor. However, little is known about where Indian aid flows go in detail and with what exact purpose.

Humanitarian assistance for refugees, long a cornerstone of the foreign policy of democratic nations, has been politicized nearly into extinction.

Creation of a solid, coordinated advocacy message can be difficult to achieve, largely because of the conflicting needs to secure a wide base of support while ensuring a sufficiently robust message.
