abstract = {This thesis sets out discourses and activities of German
aid organizations in the health sector since the 1970s
against the background of changes in humanitarian aid and
development cooperation (DC). The analysed aid organizations
were Cap Anamur, the German Red Cross (GRC) and medico
international. The self-perception, principles and
motivation to provide international health care, which
shaped concepts and contents of projects, both differed
significantly across and changed within the assessed aid
organizations over time. Medico international has undergone
a significant change as organization, which was founded as
humanitarian aid organization with disaster response as its
key pillar and nowadays considers itself as a global
development and human rights organization. Cap Anamur and
the GRC showed changes on different levels, like the
extension of scope of their activity, whereas their core
focus remained on humanitarian aid. The relationship between
humanitarian health care and politics became an increasing
challenge for aid organizations, which need to position
themselves within this tension field. In political
conflicts, especially the GRC needed to defend neutrality as
its core organizational principle. The issue of a
distinction between humanitarian aid and DC in the health
sector was of great importance for the analysed aid
organizations. Whereas a rather clear boundary between
humanitarian aid and DC existed from the 1970s to the 1990s,
more integrated approaches developed with the concept of
linking relief, rehabilitation and development (LRRD), which
was established in the middle of the 1990s. The analysis
showed internal shifts within the organizations’
priorities and also that long-term development cooperation
was a binding element besides humanitarian aid. The
comparison of core elements of operational work, such as
important project contents, requirements for posted
personnel and conflicts during a specific project,
demonstrated characteristics of the analysed actors and set
these in a larger developmental and historical context.
Moreover, the research results illustrated how extensive
changes in the global health governance system require
adequate approaches for aid and cooperation at a global
scale - thereby building a bridge from the historical
context to current as well as future challenges in
humanitarian aid and development cooperation.},
