What they are, and why” has just been published in the International Journal of Risk Assessment and Management.

For those of you with access to the academic press, the citation is:

Richards, C. (2008) ‘Operations other than war: what they are, and why’, Int. J. Risk Assessment and Management, Vol. 9, No. 4, pp.376-393.

The article as published is a revised and updated version of one that I posted here on DNI a couple of years ago.  Copies of the final article are also available for purchase from the publisher, Inderscience.
