Abstract

In other words, philanthropy in moments of acute and systemic disasters often trigger processes that can further privatize and individualize social responsibility, illegitimate the more democratic processes of societal and government responsibility, and legitimate the role of elites to decide what's best for 'others,' which of course also structures the outcomes of what is best for themselves.
