Gillman, Nina. Interagency Coordination During Disaster: Strategic Choice for the UN, NGOs, and Other Humanitarian Actors in the Field. Germany: Nomos Publishers, 2010.
This publication deals with the often-lamented coordination deficit among international relief organizations – mainly the United Nations, non-governmental organizations, and the Red Cross/Crescent Movement – in responding to humanitarian crises. The book begins by reviewing the relevant literature and identifying the most important trends and actors in the international humanitarian arena. Next, it discusses the advantages and disadvantages of existing coordination models in practice, including those promoted by the UN.
