Download or read book Cold War Civil Defence in Western Europe written by Marie Cronqvist and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-12-06 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access edited collection brings together established and new perspectives on Cold War civil defence in Western Europe within a common analytical framework that also facilitates comparative and transnational dimensions. The current interest in creating disaster-resilient societies demands new histories of civil defence. Historical contextualization is essential in order to understand what is at stake in preparing, devising, and implementing forms of preparedness, protection, and security that are specifically targeted at societies and citizens. Applying the concept of sociotechnical imaginaries to civil defence history, the chapters of this volume cover a range of new themes, from technology and materiality to media, memory, and everyday experience. The book underlines the social embeddedness of civil defence by detailing how it both prompted new forms of social interaction and reflected norms and visions of the ‘good society’ in an age where nuclear technology seemed to hold the key to both doom and salvation.

Download or read book Modern War and the Utility of Force written by Isabelle Duyvesteyn and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-04-05 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates the use and utility of military force in modern war. After the Cold War, Western armed forces have increasingly been called upon to intervene in internal conflicts in the former Third World. These forces have been called upon to carry out missions that they traditionally have not been trained and equipped for, in environments that they often have not been prepared for. A number of these ‘new’ types of operations in allegedly ‘new’ wars stand out, such as peace enforcement, state-building, counter-insurgency, humanitarian aid, and not the least counter-terrorism. The success rate of these missions has, however, been mixed, providing fuel for an increasingly loud debate on the utility of force in modern war. This edited volume poses as its central question: what is in fact the utility of force? Is force useful for anything other than a complete conventional defeat of a regular opponent, who is confronted in the open field? This book will be of much interest to students of strategic studies, war and conflict studies, counter-insurgency, security studies and IR. Isabelle Duyvesteyn is an Associate Professor at the Department of History of International Relations, Utrecht University in the Netherlands. Jan Angstrom is a researcher at the Swedish National Defence College.
Download or read book Civilians and Modern War written by Daniel Rothbart and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-08-06 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the issue of civilian devastation in modern warfare, focusing on the complex processes that effectively establish civilians’ identity in times of war. Underpinning the physicality of war’s tumult are structural forces that create landscapes of civilian vulnerability. Such forces operate in four sectors of modern warfare: nationalistic ideology, state-sponsored militaries, global media, and international institutions. Each sector promotes its own constructions of civilian identity in relation to militant combatants: constructions that prove lethal to the civilian noncombatant who lacks political power and decision-making capacity with regards to their own survival. Civilians and Modern War provides a critical overview of the plight of civilians in war, examining the political and normative underpinnings of the decisions, actions, policies, and practices of major sectors of war. The contributors seek to undermine the ‘tunnelling effect’ of the militaristic framework regarding the experiences of noncombatants. This book will be of much interest to students of war and conflict studies, ethics, conflict resolution, and IR/Security Studies.

In addition, they should train regular and auxiliary police for special civil defense duties.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1961, reacting to U.S. government plans to survey, design, and build fallout shelters, the president of the American Institute of Architects, Philip Will, told the organization’s members that “all practicing architects should prepare themselves to render this vital service to the nation and to their clients.” In an era of nuclear weapons, he argued, architectural expertise could “preserve us from decimation.” In Fallout Shelter, David Monteyne traces the partnership that developed between architects and civil defense authorities during the 1950s and 1960s. Officials in the federal government tasked with protecting American citizens and communities in the event of a nuclear attack relied on architects and urban planners to demonstrate the importance and efficacy of both purpose-built and ad hoc fallout shelters. For architects who participated in this federal effort, their involvement in the national security apparatus granted them expert status in the Cold War. Neither the civil defense bureaucracy nor the architectural profession was monolithic, however, and Monteyne shows that architecture for civil defense was a contested and often inconsistent project, reflecting specific assumptions about race, gender, class, and power. Despite official rhetoric, civil defense planning in the United States was, ultimately, a failure due to a lack of federal funding, contradictions and ambiguities in fallout shelter design, and growing resistance to its political and cultural implications. Yet the partnership between architecture and civil defense, Monteyne argues, helped guide professional design practice and influenced the perception and use of urban and suburban spaces. One result was a much-maligned bunker architecture, which was not so much a particular style as a philosophy of building and urbanism that shifted focus from nuclear annihilation to urban unrest.

Download or read book Creating the people s war written by Jessica Hammett and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2022-08-02 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why has the 'people's war' been such a durable and attractive myth? Creating the people's war examines how civil defence personnel engaged with this narrative during the war and in the following decades to answer this question. Civil defence was the most significant voluntary organisation of the Second World War, involving millions of men and women of every class, generation and locality in Britain. This book shows how local communities of civil defence personnel co-developed narratives about the value of their work which challenged hierarchies of war service. In their social groups volunteers wrote themselves into the 'people's war' and invested it with meaning, creating national identity from the bottom up. Community was both central to these representations and vital for their production.
Download or read book Civil Defense in Central Europe and Its Effects on Political and Military Leadership written by Jurg Hostettler and published by . This book was released on 1981 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study describes the Civil Defense status in Central Europe and compares it with an 'ideal' Civil Defense model. All nations in Central Europe have organized a warning and alarm system; disaster relief and rescue organizations are operational in all countries. The protection of the population in terms of shelters and/or evacuation programs is, with the exception of Switzerland, weak or not existing. The effects of modern warfare, to include chemical and nuclear weapons on the civil population are discussed. The study shows that an unprotected and poorly informed population is extremely vulnerable; by staying at home some protection can be provided by the 'Central- Europe-type' buildings and by a prewar information program. Considering the vulnerability of the population, the dynamics and the lethality of the modern battlefield, and the 'city hugging' tactics of the threat forces this study shows that the Civil Defense gap in Central Europe has a direct and profound influence on the political and military leadership. Major results include a reduced credible deterrent, limited options available to political leaders in pre-war crisis, restrictions and limited options available to military leaders fighting the battle. The restrictions may be of such a serious degree that military and political missions can no longer be accomplished successfully. (author).
