Cooperation from Crisis: Regional responses to humanitarian emergencies

This report investigates how past examples of regional responses to humanitarian crises have succeeded or failed to meet humanitarian objectives. Furthermore, it assesses whether such regional responses contributed to strengthening regional integration and cooperation. Two humanitarian crises are examined in this study: the war in the former Yugoslavia in the 1990s and cyclone Nargis in Myanmar in 2008. Additionally, this study draws lessons from these past experiences that could be applied in contemporary crises, especially the one in Syria
