Download or read book Sicherheit, Sicherheitspolitik und Militär written by Wilfried von Bredow and published by Springer-Verlag. This book was released on 2014-08-21 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sicherheit rückt mehr und mehr in den Brennpunkt von Politik und sozialwissenschaftlicher Forschung. Die unterschiedlichen Begriffe und Konzepte von Sicherheit haben dabei eines gemeinsam: Sie umfassen sehr viele Bereiche der Politik – von der Umwelt- und Energie-Sicherheit bis zur Sicherheit vor Not und kultureller Repression. Im ersten Teil werden die wichtigsten Ansätze der aktuellen Sicherheitsforschung vorgestellt und es wird gefragt, wie sich der klassische außenpolitische Sicherheitsbegriff in diese neuen Perspektiven einordnet. Im zweiten Teil geht es um die Bundeswehr und die politisch-militärische Kultur in Deutschland sowie die Schritte zur Reform der Streitkräfte nach 1990. Im dritten Teil richtet sich der Blick auf die Probleme und Schwierigkeiten deutscher Sicherheitspolitik in der Ära neuer, global wirksamer Risiken, Gefahren und Bedrohungen.
Book Synopsis Sicherheit und Militär by : Ralf Zoll
Download or read book Sicherheit und Militär written by Ralf Zoll and published by Springer. This book was released on 1982 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ralf Zoll Eine kleine interessierte Offentlichkeit hat jahrelang erhebliche Defizite hinsichtlich einer ange messenen offentlichen Diskussion iiber den Gegenstand "Sicherheitspolitik und Militar" wie 1 eine weitgehend fehlende wissenschaftliche Bearbeitung dieser Thematik beklagt. Seit dem Winter 1979/80 ist nun ein erheblicher Wandel im Interesse von Offentlichkeit und Wissen schaft festzustellen. Zum einen werden Fragen von auBerer Sicherheit und Militar in den Medien wie in der Bevolkerung zunehmend und engagiert diskutiert; zum anderen befassen sich vor allem auch die Sozialwissenschaften in letzter Zeit intensiver mit der Thematik, wie sich beispielsweise anhand der inhaltlichen Schwerpunktbildung von groBen internationalen Kongressen ablesen laBt. Die Versaumnisse, man muB wohl sagen der letzten Jahrzehnte, sind jedoch nicht in wenigen Monaten auszugleichen. Die zur Zeit relativ breite anhaltende offentliche Diskussion ist u.a. deshalb durch Unsicherheiten und Widerspriiche und durch einen hohen Grad an Emotiona lisierung gekennzeichnet. Hierzu hat besonders das Faktum beigetragen, daB im Augenblick verschiedene Entwicklungen kumulieren, die das Feld als undurchschaubares Geflecht gegenseitiger Abhangigkeiten erschei nen lassen. Damit ist angesprochen, was sich hinter Stichworten wie Haushaltsliicken, Personal mangel, Dominanz von Riistungstechnologie, Verlustan Glaubwiirdigkeit von Biindnisbindungen, Zweifel an strategischen Optionen, Obergewicht biirokratischer Mechanismen, Motivationskri sen, Krisen des Selbstverstandnisses von Offizieren, Verwendungs- und Beforderungsstau etc.

Book Synopsis Handbook of the Sociology of the Military by : Giuseppe Caforio
Download or read book Handbook of the Sociology of the Military written by Giuseppe Caforio and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-05-19 with total page 650 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new edition of the volume is presented on the wave of the success which had its first edition (2003). It is entirely updated to the current situation of the disciplines covered, and expanded with particular regard to the new missions, that have become the main challenge for the armed forces in these first decades of the new millennium, with new insights to technological development toward so-called cyborg warriors, new forms of leadership and changes in soldier's identity and organisational culture. It is compiled of documents coming from various researchers at universities around the world as well as military officers devoted to the sector of study. Covered in this volume is a historical excursus of studies prior to contemporary research, interpretive models and theoretical approaches developed specifically for this topic, civic-military relations including issues surrounding democratic control of the armed forces, military culture, professional training, conditions and problems of minorities in the armed forces, an examination of the structural change within the military over the years including new duties and functions following the Cold War.
Book Synopsis The Politics of Military Force by : Frank A Stengel
Download or read book The Politics of Military Force written by Frank A Stengel and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2020-12-08 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Politics of Military Force examines the dynamics of discursive change that made participation in military operations possible against the background of German antimilitarist culture. Once considered a strict taboo, so-called out-of-area operations have now become widely considered by German policymakers to be without alternative. The book argues that an understanding of how certain policies are made possible (in this case, military operations abroad and force transformation), one needs to focus on processes of discursive change that result in different policy options appearing rational, appropriate, feasible, or even self-evident. Drawing on Essex School discourse theory, the book develops a theoretical framework to understand how discursive change works, and elaborates on how discursive change makes once unthinkable policy options not only acceptable but even without alternative. Based on a detailed discourse analysis of more than 25 years of German parliamentary debates, The Politics of Military Force provides an explanation for: (1) the emergence of a new hegemonic discourse in German security policy after the end of the Cold War (discursive change), (2) the rearticulation of German antimilitarism in the process (ideational change/norm erosion) and (3) the resulting making-possible of military operations and force transformation (policy change). In doing so, the book also demonstrates the added value of a poststructuralist approach compared to the naive realism and linear conceptions of norm change so prominent in the study of German foreign policy and International Relations more generally.
Book Synopsis The Organizational Embeddedness of Communities of Practice by : Benjamin Schulte
Download or read book The Organizational Embeddedness of Communities of Practice written by Benjamin Schulte and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-11-23 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation uncovers how informal and self-organized communities of practice as a source of learning and adaptability are embedded in their formal organizational surroundings. Based on an interpretative case study of three communities of practice within the German Federal Armed Forces, the author theorizes this embeddedness as shaped through cultural dynamics and leadership processes. In particular, the author draws on a practice lens and complexity leadership theory in explaining how communities of practice generate new resources (i.e., adaptability), produce and reproduce broader socio-cultural structures, and are enabled as well as influenced by formal leadership.
Book Synopsis Private Military and Security Companies by : Thomas Jäger
Download or read book Private Military and Security Companies written by Thomas Jäger and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-04-23 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Private Sicherheits- und Militärunternehmen erleben seit den 1990er Jahren einen außerordentlichen Boom und sind derzeit eines der spannendsten Phänomene in den internationalen Beziehungen. Die Palette der von ihnen angebotenen Dienstleistungen ist groß. Sie reichen von logistischer Unterstützung über Aufklärung bis hin zu Kampfeinsätzen. Zu ihren Kunden zählen Regierungen, Wirtschaftsunternehmen, internationale Organisationen, NGOs, humanitäre Organisationen sowie Privatpersonen. Gegenwärtig lässt sich an den Auseinandersetzungen im Irak sowohl die Aktualität wie auch die Brisanz ihres Einsatzes illustrieren, gibt es doch Anzeichen dafür, dass Beschäftigte solcher Unternehmen u.a. in die Folterung von Gefangenen verwickelt sind. Die Beiträge des Sammelbandes aus der Feder nationaler wie internationaler Expertinnen und Experten beschreiben und analysieren verschiedene Typen von privaten Sicherheits- und Militärunternehmens, ihre Dienstleistungen und die Umstände, die ihren Boom befördert haben. Sie diskutieren die Vor- wie auch die Nachteile ihres Einsatzes und beschreiben Instrumente, die die Tätigkeit dieser Unternehmen stärker reglementieren und kontrollieren könnten.

Book Synopsis Democratic Civil-Military Relations by : Sabine Mannitz
Download or read book Democratic Civil-Military Relations written by Sabine Mannitz and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-05-04 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the ways in which European democracies, including former communist states, are dealing with the new demands placed on their security policies since the cold war by transforming their military structures, and the effects this is having on the conceptualisation of soldiering. In the new security environment, democratic states have called upon their armed forces increasingly to fulfil unconventional tasks – partly civilian, partly humanitarian, and partly military – in most complex, multi-national missions. Not only have military structures been transformed to make them fit for these new types of deployments, but the new mission types highlight the necessity for democracies to come to terms with a new image and ethos of soldiering in defence of a transnational value community. Combining a qualitative comparison of twelve countries with an interdisciplinary methodology, this edited volume argues that the ongoing transformations of international politics make it necessary for democracies to address both internal and external factors as they shape their own civil-military relations. The issues discussed in this work are informed by Democratic Peace theory, which makes it possible to investigate relations within the state at the same time as analysing the international dimension. This approach gives the book a systematic theoretical framework which distinguishes it from the majority of existing literature on this subject. This book will be of much interest to students of civil-military relations, European politics, democratisation and post-communist transitions, and IR in general.
Book Synopsis Armament, Arms Control and Artificial Intelligence by : Thomas Reinhold
Download or read book Armament, Arms Control and Artificial Intelligence written by Thomas Reinhold and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-10-08 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Looking at a variety of armament sectors, the book examines how Artificial Intelligence (AI) impacts the fields of armament and arms control, how existing arms control measures will be affected by AI, and what new approaches based on AI have been or are currently developed. The significant increase in computing power, the increasing reliance on software, and the advent of (narrow) AI and deep-learning algorithms all have the potential to lead to disruptive changes for military operations and warfare, rendering many classical arms control instruments less effective, or even useless. On the other hand, AI might lead to completely new arms control approaches, raising the effectiveness and reliability of new verification measures. To provide a common understanding, the book starts by presenting a general introduction to the state of the art in artificial intelligence and arms control, and how the two topics are interrelated. The second part of the book looks at examples from various fields of weapon technology, including weapons of mass destruction (WMD), conventional armament, and emerging technologies. The final section offers a cross-cutting perspective based on the examples presented in the second part. This volume will appeal to students and scholars of international relations, as well as policy-makers and practitioners interested in a better understanding of peace and security studies in general, and armament and arms control in particular with a strong focus on AI.

Book Synopsis War, Peace and the Military by : Franz Kernic
Download or read book War, Peace and the Military written by Franz Kernic and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-03-17 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a comprehensive analysis of the various social science approaches to explaining and interpreting war, peace and the military. Its central aim is to trace and reconstruct those basic assumptions constructed and 'thought processes' undertaken by modern social sciences in their research and conceptualization of military violence and the use of force. In addition to such reconstruction, the aim is also to enquire into the preconditions of such thought. This study therefore eschews the development of an explicit 'strategy' (in the sense of a research strategy), but instead is much more concerned with thinking about its subject matter by means of re-thinking and reflecting upon different theoretical approaches and problems. The investigation includes a critical reexamination of the tradition of military-sociological research from the beginning of modern sociology to late-twentieth century theoretical approaches regarding the security-focused and/or war-driven aspects of modern society.
Book Synopsis German Military and the Weimar Republic by : Karen Schaefer
Download or read book German Military and the Weimar Republic written by Karen Schaefer and published by Pen and Sword Military. This book was released on 2020-03-30 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: General Hans von Seekt (1866-1936) was the military counterpart of the Weimar Republic, both attempted to restore Germany's international acceptance and security following defeat in World War I and the Treaty of Versailles of 1919. And the failure of both led eventually to the rise of Hitler and Nazi Germany. Hans von Seekt was from the traditional German officer caste, served with distinction on the war and became Chief of the Army Command at the Reichewehr Ministry of the Weimar Republic and Germany's 'supreme soldier'and major military strategist. His role was to re-build the shattered German army in face of the punitive terms of post-war settlement imposed by the victorious Entente Powers which drastically reduced its strength and imposed crippling financial conditions. He aimed to build a modern and efficient military - a new German army - with a main strategy of peaceful defence purposes, and to re-introduce Germany into the community of nations. This original and far-sighted policy was opposed by the movement seeking revenge for defeat - a 'stab in the back' - led principally by his rival, General Erich Ludendorff, whose aim was re-build the once-mighty German imperial army as a major international force. The failure of von Seekt's experiment was mirrored by the fall of the Weimar Republic, and the rise of rise of Hitler and Nazi Germany.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can the Alliance afford the almost unprecedented polarization of popular opinion over defense policy? This Atlantic Institute study deals with the appearance and realities of this unique situation by developing and exploring four themes for each of the Alliance countries: their images of the Soviet Union, of their security, of deterrence, and of their allies. Each of these themes is explored in terms of the criteria used by populations in their 'image formation, ' the evolution of these criteria, the intensity with which public perceptions are held, and the sources of information on the basis of which perceptions are formed
