Part of a series of books which provides practitioners and scholars with analyses of historical case material, insights based on field experience and applications for future third-party roles in Third World conflicts. This book features articles by J.Jonah and T.G.Weiss.
The volume examines the past and potential role played by both UN peacekeepers as well as other military forces in the provision of humanitarian aid. There is also an in-depth discussion of the 'downside' or possible dilemmas of resorting to military capacities as well as a case-study of the recent international response in the Sudan with a view toward breaking new ground in the delivery of humanitarian relief in countries torn by civil war.
