Resumen
Los objetivos del Máster Universitario en Acción Internacional Humanitaria responden a una demanda de la sociedad, la de formar profesionales de la acción humanitaria. Desde hace diecisiete años, el Máster, impartido por una red de siete universidades europeas, ha evolucionado conforme se le ha venido exigiendo, tanto por los propios cambios del Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior, como por las transformaciones de la sociedad internacional y las necesidades de los organismos internacionales y los actores humanitarios, hasta convertirse en un Máster Europeo Conjunto Erasmus Mundus de reconocimiento internacional. La finalidad de este artículo es presentar el Máster Europeo Conjunto en Acción Internacional Humanitaria y describir la dinámica y la evolución por la que ha transitado durante sus casi dos décadas de existencia. Es un máster novedoso tanto por su contenido y programa como por su organización, –apoyada en una red de universidades europeas–, que se imparte por primera vez durante el curso 1994-95, pocos años después de la caída del muro de Berlín y del fin de la guerra fría, contexto histórico en el que el mundo se transforma y las relaciones internacionales comienzan a ser más fluidas que nunca. Las guerras de los Balcanes iniciadas en 1992 y el genocidio de Ruanda en 1994 despertaron la atención de la opinión pública internacional por las víctimas de los conflictos armados, en ocasiones denominados con el eufemismo “crisis humanitarias”. La sociedad civil europea quiso responder. Lo complejo de las realidades exigía profesionalización, análisis desde el mundo universitario e interdisciplinar y en una perspectiva internacional.
The aims of the Joint European Master in International Humanitarian Action answer to the demand of society, that is, to provide high quality academic education and skills for humanitarian workers. Since 1994 the Master –offered by a network of seven European universities–, has evolved in correspondence with the European Higher Education Area, the changes of the international community and the necessities of the international organizations and humanitarian actors until it has become an internationally recognized Erasmus Mundus Joint European Master. The objective of this article is to present the Joint European Master in International Humanitarian Action and describe the dynamics and evolution through its almost two decades of existence. It is an innovative master because of its content and program and also because of its organization –sustained by a network of European universities– taught for the first time during the academic course 1994-95, few years after the end of the Cold War, historical context in which the world suffered a transformation and international relations began to be more fluent than ever. The Balcan wars initiated in 1992, the Rwandan genocide in 1994 and the victims of armed conflicts, named with the euphemism “humanitarian crises”, called the attention of the international public opinion. The European civil society wanted to give an answer. The complexity of the realities demanded professionalism, analysis conducted by an interdisciplinary and the university view and through an international perspective.
