Publisher's Synopsis

Bosnia, Somalia, Angola and Rwanda. These and other current conflicts are revealing how modern warfare creates complex emergencies, causing not just mass civilian death but also widespread hunger and even famine. The United Nations and other agencies which intervene to reduce human suffering. face numerous difficulties and limitations on what they can achieve. The authors explores how warfare creates hunger, and reassess the role of relief. Their down-to-earth approach and constructive suggestions are centrally relevant to the difficult issues of policy and institutional reform which the UN machinery and NGOs must confront if they are to cope effectively in the post-Cold War world.
