In the aid industry, humanitarian space is a defined, politically neutral space within an area of conflict that allows humanitarian actors to assist populations in need with decreased levels of danger. It provides logistical and operational capacity, but as a non-political zone, so that aid workers may assist anyone in need, regardless of their side in the conflict.

This site, The Humanitarian Space, is a likewise virtual space committed to ideas and dialogue on issues of conflict, stabilization, displacement, aid, and development. In many ways it serves as a sketchpad for outside projects, yet it is also a platform for contributing guest authors. Article proposals are always welcome.
