• catalog abstract "Annotation Explores that international humanitarians - from the UN and national governments, to the Red Cross and the many private relief and development agencies - have learned about how to do humanitarian work well, and the arguments which remain unsolved. Annotation Director of the Humanitarianism and War Project, Minear draws on thousands of interviews and discussions amassed by the project to analyze key issues that have confronted humanitarian workers over the past decade. Among them are coordination, strengthening local capacity, equipping the enterprise, and terrorism. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).
