Peacekeeping and public information: caught in the crossfire
- London: Frank Cass, 1999
- 175p.
- The Cass series on peacekeeping, no. 5 .
Demonstrates the absence of an established doctrine and lack of consistent management principles regarding public information in peacekeeping missions in 5 case-studies of United Nations peacekeeping operations in the 1990s. The study's main tenet is that communication is a strategic management function for international organisations, particularly when they operate in a peacekeeping mode and that, to avoid deterioration of public image, loss of message and lack of internal communication, organisations should apply 6 prescribed principles.
