摘  要： 

The lecture will focus on a number of crucial questions revolving around humanitarian leadership. First starting with the question of what defines good humanitarian leadership, it will investigate three different approaches to what makes a good leader, and highlight different manifestations of leadership drawing on two case studies (the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami and the 2011 Van Earthquake). The lecture will then continue to explain the flow of leadership and decision-making process within the global humanitarian system down to the national level. By explaining the different global coordination mechanisms, it will present and discuss current arrangements such as the IASC (Inter-Agency Standing Committee) and the Cluster Approach, drawing attention to the challenges which still remain in deploying adequate leadership. 
    The lecture aims to provide a better understanding of the existing global humanitarian leadership structure, what factors determine successful leadership in the humanitarian sector, and what actions humanitarian actors can take to improve the quality of leadership.
