This literature review is part of an HPG project entitled 'Civil-Military Coordination: The Search for Common Ground'. This two-year research and public affairs project explores how recent global developments have affected the relationship between military and humanitarian actors, with the aim of facilitating more effective and principled ollaboration to support better humanitarian outcomes for crisis-affected populations. This paper identifies key trends emerging from the literature on civil-military coordination in conflicts and natural disasters. It deals with the interaction between international humanitarian and international or foreign military actors operating in crisis contexts, and offers some reflections on the relationship between national military actors and the international humanitarian community
