ABSTRACT
Chapter 7 summarises the main arguments of the book and provides a discussion of the findings. First, I revisit the research findings, including the central role of relationships in driving protection, the reconceptualisation of the frameworks as a narrative glue that sustains these relationships, and the official and unofficial roles of humanitarians in promoting this narrative. Reflecting on the broader scholarly debates, I then discuss how the informal practices of humanitarian brokers and translators act as an unofficial humanitarian fix to the challenges the humanitarian frameworks face in contemporary conflicts. I then discuss the relationship between the official frameworks and the unofficial humanitarian fix and why the unofficial translation remains a largely hidden transcript. Finally, I conclude by proposing applied applications and possibilities for further research.
