международная гуманитарная помощь

Aug 10, 2009 02:48

Попалась мне краткая шпаргалка университета в Индианаполисе по теме "история международной гуманитарной помощи". Интересно, а на русском языке подобные курсы и темы вообще существуют? В СССР они никого не волновали - там людей нужно было пугать ужасами капитализма, потому о гуманитарной помощи распускали брехню ( даже когда помогали населению под большевицким правлением). А сейчас хоть что-то изменилось?
