Tacit engagement in humanitarian action: making sense of silence and secrecy in humanitarian negotiations by Ayse Bala Akal, Kristina Roepstorff, Kristoffer Lidén

“…In this paper, we do so by conceptualizing these practices as forms of “tacit engagement” and relating them to political theory on secrecy and silence. Drawing on insights from expert consultations and qualitative interviews on humanitarian negotiations, we relate it to existing literatures on remote management, risk management and a culture of silence in humanitarian organizations more generally and humanitarian negotiations more specifically. …”
