Post-Humanitarian Europe (Richard Gowan, ECFR)

If Europeans lose faith in the international humanitarian system, it will fail. EU governments and institutions account for half of all humanitarian spending, which adds up to $20 billion a year. Struggling with the political and financial costs of the refugee crisis, they are losing patience with United Nations agencies like the World Food Programme and UNHCR, and turning to alternatives - including unstable governments in the Arab world and Africa - to control the inflow of refugees and migrants. We may be headed for a post-humanitarian Europe, increasingly at odds with the UN
