| Description: |
A book which looks at the coming together of military forces and civilian agencies in dealing with the human suffering resulting from complex emergencies. It examines the cases of Bosnia, Somalia, Rwanda, Haiti and Northern Iraq and develops a framework for measuring the military costs and civilian benefits involved in humanitarian actions. |
| Synopsis: |
Is it possible and worthwhile to use the military in conjunction with humanitarian action to thwart violence and mitigate civilian suffering? This timely book seeks to answer this question by looking at the contemporary context and history of military-civilian interactions, developing a framework for assessing military costs and civilian benefits, and examining in depth the five most prominent cases-Northern Iraq, Somalia, Bosnia, Rwanda, and Haiti. |
