Abstract
This pilot study explores civilian and military understanding of the procedures, role, and necessity of civil-military cooperation. It identifies obstacles to cooperation and divergent views between civilian humanitarian assistance organizations and the military on whether and how to overcome those obstacles. The study is designed to provide a new contribution to academic literature, which thus far has focused little on civil-military cooperation despite its record of success in peacebuilding and peacekeeping in post-conflict areas.
