The New Diplomacies and Humanitarian Work Psychology

  • Chapter

Abstract

This chapter contributes to the theory of humanitarian work psychology (HWP) by addressing change and transformational aspects of multistakeholder engagement and alignment of change processes across institutions involved or impacted by a large scale change project. It proposes to link organizational and industrial psychology with New Diplomacies whose core competencies are essential for the success of humanitarian work psychologists in promoting or implementing a pro-social change agenda in an international context.
