This portable handbook profiles the outlook, culture, and operations of the major third-party players and institutions involved in peace and relief operations, to help field staff, students, the media, and other observers keep track of who's who. Sections outline the workings of intergovernmental organizations, such as the UN; private, nongovernmental organizations, whose number has nearly doubled since 1978, to over 16,000 internationally; and the military including a guide to identifying the service, rank, and specialty of military personnel as well as the weapons and aircraft most likely to be seen in the field.
