Book Synopsis Security Community Practices in the Western Balkans by : Sonja Stojanović Gajić
Download or read book Security Community Practices in the Western Balkans written by Sonja Stojanović Gajić and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2018-07-04 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early 1990s, the Western Balkans were the scene of prolonged and bloody inter-ethnic wars. Numerous issues remain unresolved; Bosnia is a dysfunctional state; Kosovo a disputed territory; Macedonia a fragile republic, however, it is hard now to imagine the renewal of inter-state armed conflict. Investigating the causes and mechanisms driving peaceful transformation in the Balkans, this book examines developments in the region and contributes to discussions on security community building. Focusing on how different professional communities work together in the creation of regional peace and security, it sheds new light on how diplomats, policemen, soldiers and others brought about the transformation from conflict to peace through their everyday practices. Conducted collaboratively by a research community based within the region, this volume will be highly relevant to scholars and researchers studying the Balkans, regional security, security communities and policymakers.

Book Synopsis Non-Traditional Security Challenges as a Main Security Threat to the Western Balkan Countries by : Alfred Marleku
Download or read book Non-Traditional Security Challenges as a Main Security Threat to the Western Balkan Countries written by Alfred Marleku and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some of the biggest challenges states in the Western Balkans are facing since the end of the Cold War are non-traditional security threats. Although recent studies have argued that “history has returned” and that traditional security threats have come back to become core challenges for states, authors of this paper argue that due to geopolitical, political, economic and cultural factors, the states in the region suffer more from non-traditional or “soft security” rather than “hard security” threats. In this paper, the authors are focused on two of such threats: organized crime and terrorism. The region of the Western Balkans is quite vague and imprecise as a concept, and for the purpose of this paper, we use the term to refer to the former Yugoslavia, excluding Slovenia and Croatia and including Albania. Two methodological approaches are used: discourse analysis and semi- structured interviews. The paper consists of three parts. The first part deals with the theoretical and conceptual change of security in the Western Balkans by focusing on key security challenges which the states are facing. In the second part, the paper identifies main contemporary threats, focusing on two most significant threats: transnational organized crime and terrorism. In the third part, the paper analyses alternative approaches that these states can use to overcome these security threats.
Book Synopsis Defense against Terrorism by : M. Coen
Download or read book Defense against Terrorism written by M. Coen and published by IOS Press. This book was released on 2019-04-02 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global terrorism is a double-edged threat to democracies. Physically, because of the number of people killed and wounded, structurally, because it threatens social peace and over-reaction tends to undermine our basic values. The authors of the chapters in this book are multinational and interdisciplinary. Their papers were presented for discussion at the Advanced Research Workshop (ARW) held in Skopje (FYROM) 11-14th April 2018 on “Defence Against Terrorism, Enhancing Resilience of Democratic Institutions and Rule of Law”, organized within the NATO Science for Peace and Security Programme. Results can be summarised as follows. Counter-terrorist strategy must aim to achieve less, not more, terrorism. The countries with best results are the ones that cultivate human intelligence, confidence between security services and the local population, together with a tradition of effective respect of the Rule of Law. Militarization of internal security, and intelligence systems mainly based on databases (“big data”) and artificial intelligence, though popular, are showing serious limits. More effective democracy, not less, is the key to the resilience of our societies against the “new threats”, particularly for confronting the criminal violence of terror. In discussion, some core necessities were identified: to recognize that it is the method used, not the aims, that define criminal organisations as terrorist; that there is a structural link with organized crime for financing and operative support, and that corruption facilitates and protects any illegal activity; social capital must be developed as a fundamental basic tool for enhancing resilience. This book aims to help analyse the networks and contexts that feed terrorism. It provides anyone confronted with security issues an understanding of the negative as well as the positive aspects of specific counter-measures.
Book Synopsis Shining a Light on the Western Balkans by : Vera Zakem
Download or read book Shining a Light on the Western Balkans written by Vera Zakem and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the civil wars of the 1990s, the Western Balkans region has been plagued by conflict and instability. The United States and Western Europe disengaged from this region in the last decade, and the Western Balkan countries have become particularly unstable due to internal vulnerabilities and external influence from state and non-state actors. CNA initiated a study to assess these internal vulnerabilities and external influence and threats from Russia, international terrorism, and transnational organized crime. Using research and semi-structured discussions with subject matter experts in the United States, Serbia, and Macedonia, including recent U.S. senior military and civilian leaders, this paper presents findings and implications for U.S. and European civilian and military leaders to consider in order to proactively engage in this region, and promote a regional strategy that supports a Europe that is "whole and free," and one that is based on Western institutions and democratic principles.

Book Synopsis Gender Mainstreaming in Counter-terrorism Efforts in the Western Balkans by : M. Hadji-Janev
Download or read book Gender Mainstreaming in Counter-terrorism Efforts in the Western Balkans written by M. Hadji-Janev and published by IOS Press. This book was released on 2021-11-25 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amplified by a volatile security environment, technology and globalization, terrorism and violent extremism have become a genuine threat on a global level, and the ability of terrorist groups to capitalize on local issues such as poverty and inequality have helped to fuel the process of radicalization and recruitment. The region of the Western Balkans is not immune to these trends, and the gender component has been recognized as an important aspect in efforts to counter and prevent such practices. This book presents edited contributions delivered at the NATO Advanced Training Course (ATC) “Gender Mainstreaming in Counter-terrorism Efforts in Western Balkans” held from 16 to 21 May 2021. The event was designed to explore gender perspectives in counter-terrorism efforts in the Western Balkans and in the wider security-sector, and to analyze drivers to radicalization through the lens of gender. This ATC brought together more than 50 military and civilian participants from 7 countries in the Western Balkans and south-eastern Europe and 35 expert lecturers. Topics include the legal and political framework of gender mainstreaming; the role of technology; the drivers, motivations and roles of women in radicalization and extremist groups; counter-terrorism and gender; gender-sensitive approaches to counter terrorism; gendered perspectives from the frontline; the prospects for women’s leadership roles in community-based approaches; and challenges to the implementation of UNSCR 1325 in the Western Balkans. Highlighting critical components and providing a unique insight which contributes to the academic debate on gender mainstreaming in P/CVE and CT efforts, the book will be of interest to all those involved in countering the spread of terrorism worldwide.
Book Synopsis Improving Security Cooperation in the Western Balkans by :
Download or read book Improving Security Cooperation in the Western Balkans written by and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the post-9/11 global security environment it is a foregone conclusion that it's much more cost effective, in both blood and treasure, to build and support effective governance in foreign nations than it is to allow them to fail. After more than two centuries of ethnic violence and a decade and a half of genocide and civil war, the western Balkans remain at risk of becoming failed states. The region is strife with narcotics trafficking, organized crime, religious fundamentalism, and terrorism. Allowing failing and failed states to foment transnational terrorism through inability or inaction incurs great risk and future cost. As such, it is in the interest of the United States to assist the western Balkans in improving internal security and bringing the rule of law to ungoverned areas. An objective analysis of the situation in the western Balkans combined with the analysis of EUCOM's Theater Cooperation Strategy Plan (TSCP) shows that EUCOM has done a commendable job in progressing toward the desired end state of stability in the Balkans. That being said, there is significant room for improvement, especially in the arenas of information operations and strategic communications.

Book Synopsis Engaging with the Western Balkans an Investment in Europe's Security by :
Download or read book Engaging with the Western Balkans an Investment in Europe's Security written by and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Security in the Western Balkans is not just a matter for the region itself although it is clear that slow progress on security issues such as rule of law, organised crime, extremism and radicalisation - is also undermining advances in other areas, holding back socio-economic progress and discouraging investments. It is also a responsibility of the EU, as a regional force for peace and stability. President Jean-Claude Juncker once said, 'it is the most basic and universal of rights of European citizens to feel safe and secure in their homes'. This goes for those Europeans who are already in the European Union, but also for those who are not yet there and who have only recently witnessed the horrors of conflict and warfare. Security in the Western Balkans is also intrinsically linked to stability and economic prosperity in the wider region and in the EU as a whole. Without swift and decisive action, security issues within this region of roughly 18 millions inhabitants will breed and amplify, with the ultimate risk that they spill over into the EU, in particular if exacerbated by foreign actors seeking to gain leverage in the region.
Book Synopsis Balkan Networks and Stability by : NATO Defense College Foundation
Download or read book Balkan Networks and Stability written by NATO Defense College Foundation and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The security and stability of Western Balkans, already affected by still unsolved internal problems, has been put severely to test by the consequences of the humanitarian tragedies or the difficult living conditions throughout Europe. In addition, the ongoing massive wave of migrants has essentially left the Balkans to their own devices. Immediate answers have been characterised by measures restricting the freedom circulation of travellers and by divisive political discourses. [...] This view is largely shared and therefore we are encouraged to launch a project giving the Balkan region the visibility it deserves at this point in time. Following this context, the conference is structured into four panels. The first panel discusses on how these troubled countries can be reconnected in a common political discourse and security network within a multilateral context. The second panel will not only sketch the existing regional security landscape marked by criminal networks, small arms proliferation, illegal trafficking and terrorist groups, but also see how NATO and EU as security providers can better combine initiatives, resources and operations in order to blunt and neutralise these challenges. The third panel considers Russia’s influence, the different national positions and the options in order to deal and negotiate jointly and effectively visavis the comeback of this geopolitical actor. The last panel will conduct a critical evaluation of NATO’s integration activities and of European enlargement plans in order to take into account the changing political climate within member countries and to plot a new Euro-Atlantic common course.
