A necessary companion volume to Emergency Relief Operations, this book is a primer on designing, building, funding, and managing humanitarian action programs.

Drawing their experience in such groups as Medecins sans Frontières, the World Health Organization, and the International Red Cross, the distinguished contributors explore the political, legal, ethical, cultural, and logistical aspects of effective relief work—from funding and team building to working with local NGOs.

Compiled and edited by Kevin M. Cahill (Director of the Institute of International Humanitarian Affairs, Fordham University), Basics Of International Humanitarian Missions is an impressive collection of erudite essays contributed by informed and informative contributors concerning the practical realities of global humanitarian missions. From ethical and legal standards; to funding policies and pitfalls; to the terminology of disaster management, Basics Of International Humanitarian Missions is a scholarly and very highly recommended contribution to International Studies reference shelves and reading lists.
