dc.description.abstractThe aim of this thesis is to explore the relationship between civil aid organizations and the military in the Netherlands. This thesis sets out to investigate the possible tensions between civil aid organizations and the military and intends to determine the extent to which education and training could solve these possible tensions and to whether education and training have an influence on the cooperation between civil aid organizations and the military. Experts from the civil field, the military field and training institutes were interviewed to get a comprehensive understanding of the possible tensions between civil aid organizations and the military, the organization of education and training in the Netherlands (concerning the preparation of a foreign mission) and the influence of education and training on solving these possible tensions and on the cooperation between civil aid organizations and the military. Results show that the main tensions between civil aid organizations and the military are situated in the lack of knowledge and misunderstanding of each other, their differences in cultures and routines and the humanitarian principals under which civil aid organizations are able to do their work. However, these tensions do not necessarily have to have a negative influence on the cooperation between civil aid organizations and the military. Education and training can help to overcome these tensions by creating knowledge and understanding about each other.en_US
