ABSTRACT

This final chapter is devoted to signaling trends and dilemmas and presenting lines for future research based on the insights, experiences, know-how and knowledge contributed by the various authors in this book. To do so, we gleaned the chapters to find interrelated views and themes concerning the civil-military interfaces that cope with the consequences of complex emergencies and conflicts to promote humanitarian assistance, stabilization, reconstruction, and endurable peace all over the world. We distinguish six themes that present trends and inherent dilemmas as well as opportunities for research.
