This paper reviews the British Department for International Development (DFID) position on humanitarian assistance within the wider context of academic and agency-discourses that provide a fragmentary “history of ideas” on relief. The author argues that material relief has been increasingly dislodged and delegitimized as an appropriate response to disasters in general and conflicts in particular and that DFID’s policy is both affected by and has responded to this development.
