Engaging Europe in the Arab World – European missionaries and humanitarianism in the Middle East (1850–1970)

In Search for a New International Humanitarian Orgainsation: The Egyptian Red Crescent (1882–1956)
By focusing on the Egyptian Red Crescent, Esther Möller's project aims to investigate the specific characteristics of humanitarian engagement in a non-European context.
The Ottoman Red Crescent and Its Relation with The International Red Cross Movement (1911–1927)

The great variety of historical sources on the Ottoman Red Crescent will offer new insights not only into important political and social processes within the Ottoman society, but also on early moments of global internationalism.
