Abstract
This chapter comprises three basic parts. First, it provides a brief analysis of the structure of the international humanitarian relief system, including United Nations (UN) institutions, and suggests its implications for effective coordination of aid delivery to recipients. Second, the argument considers key theorizations and conceptual constructions of that environment. Finally, the chapter concludes by highlighting four concerns for future inquiry that look likely to help analysts build a still more robust understanding of the coordination challenge that accompanies humanitarian relief.
