- The Good Project is based on 18 months of fieldwork, including 50 in-depth interviews in 8 sites (Atlanta, New York, Paris, Brussels, London, Geneva, Zurich, Amsterdam) and archival research in 2 sites (JFK Library Boston; LBJ Library Austin). It contains 6 substantive chapters of article length, each with its own argument, literature review and data. Publishing these 6 chapters as a book allows for the development of an overarching argument, which presents an account of the "logic" of humanitarian relief, examines its history, and observes it as it encounters efforts to reform it and interacts with neighbouring fields.
