This book was released on 2007 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Esta brillante investigación analiza hasta qué punto la participación de las Fuerzas Armadas en misiones de paz ha dejado de ser una ámbito material más de la acción exterior de España para convertirse en un instrumento de proyección internacional con capacidad para mejorar la posición española en los principales centros de decisión internacionales. Para ello, analiza los principios, objetivos e intereses que justifican el despliegue de efectivos españoles en distintas áreas geográficas e, igualmente, examina si esa participación en misiones de paz se está rigiendo por criterios de coherencia y continuidad. Inmaculada C. Marrero es Doctora en Ciencia Política y Profesora de Relaciones Internacionales en la Universidad de Granada. Ha trabajado en universidades de diferentes países y cuenta con numerosas publicaciones en diversos idiomas, entre las que destaca su libro Armas Nucleares y Estados Proliferadores (Granada, 2004) y el capítulo “US-Spain Security Relations after 9/11” en el volumen The War on Terror and US Bilateral Relations (London, 2006). Inmaculada C. Marrero es actualmente una de las mayores expertas en materia de seguridad internacional de nuestro país.

This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Las Fuerzas Armadas asumen el cumplimiento de los compromisos derivados de los acuerdos internacionales sobre defensa suscritos por España con los Estados aliados y de la voluntad del Gobierno de la nación de colaborar con Naciones Unidas en el mantenimiento de la paz en el mundo. Este es el fundamento de las misiones en el exterior de las Fuerzas Armadas. Las misiones en Nicaragua, Kurdistán iraquí, Bosnia, Kosovo, Turquía y Mozambique, entre otros escenarios, que son de pacificación o de ayuda humanitaria, dieron nuevos cometidos a los militares y resultaron determinantes para que, por primera vez, el conjunto de la sociedad civil valorase positivamente su labor. Sin embargo, el apoyo unánime a las misiones en el exterior, en la ciudadanía, los medios de comunicación y la clase política, ha quedado roto a partir de la operación en Irak.
Download or read book Maritime Terrorism and Piracy in the Indian Ocean Region written by Awet T. Weldemichael and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-10-02 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unregulated or lesser regulated maritime spaces are ideal theatres of operation and mediums of transportation for terrorists, insurgents and pirates. For more than a decade, the Indian Ocean waters adjoining Somalia have been a particular locus of such activities, with pirates hijacking vessels, and Al Qaeda and Al Shabab elements travelling between Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, operating lucrative businesses and even staging deadly operations at sea. These operations and threats however, remain, by and large, understudied. Responses to the two threats have varied, highlighting the lack of cohesive regional and global institutions with the mandate and the capacity to address them. Those scholarly deliberations on Indian Ocean maritime security focus on piracy and armed robbery at sea, while their terrorist/insurgent counterparts have eluded sustained scrutiny. This volume will help close that gap by looking at both from the field in Somalia and Yemen, within broader frameworks of regional maritime security and port-state control, international maritime law and the ongoing search for maritime resources. The European, African and Middle Eastern case studies add salience to the regional and international complexity surrounding maritime security off the Horn of Africa. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of the Indian Ocean Region.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "Law & Anthropology Yearbook" brings together a collection of studies that discuss legal problems raised by cultural differences between people and the law to which they are subject. Volume 10 of "Law & Anthropology" includes eight studies that discuss various forms in which the rights of indigenous people are violated. Topics include: the way in which the seemingly neutral criminal justice system of Canada discriminates against aboriginal people; the fact that land rights issues of indigenous peoples cannot be separated from political rights; the conceptual differences between the human rights concepts underlying the modern international system, and the concepts behind human rights as these are understood in the Guatemalan Highlands; and the relationship between the rights of indigenous peoples and upcoming new standards of environmental law.

Download or read book Command in War written by Martin Van Creveld and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1987-01-01 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many books have been written about strategy, tactics, and great commanders. This is the first book to deal exclusively with the nature of command itself, and to trace its development over two thousand years from ancient Greece to Vietnam. It treats historically the whole variety of problems involved in commanding armies, including staff organization and administration, communications methods and technologies, weaponry, and logistics. And it analyzes the relationship between these problems and military strategy. In vivid descriptions of key battles and campaigns—among others, Napoleon at Jena, Moltke’s Königgrätz campaign, the Arab–Israeli war of 1973, and the Americans in Vietnam—Martin van Creveld focuses on the means of command and shows how those means worked in practice. He finds that technological advances such as the railroad, breech-loading rifles, the telegraph and later the radio, tanks, and helicopters all brought commanders not only new tactical possibilities but also new limitations. Although vast changes have occurred in military thinking and technology, the one constant has been an endless search for certainty—certainty about the state and intentions of the enemy’s forces; certainty about the manifold factors that together constitute the environment in which war is fought, from the weather and terrain to radioactivity and the presence of chemical warfare agents; and certainty about the state, intentions, and activities of one’s own forces. The book concludes that progress in command has usually been achieved less by employing more advanced technologies than by finding ways to transcend the limitations of existing ones.

Download or read book Transitional Justice and Reconciliation written by Martina Fischer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-11-06 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scholars and practitioners alike agree that somehow the past needs to be addressed in order to enable individuals and collectives to rebuild trust and relationships. However, they also continue to struggle with critical questions. When is the right moment to address the legacies of the past after violent conflict? How can societies address the past without deepening the pain that arises from memories related to the violence and crimes committed in war? How can cultures of remembrance be established that would include and acknowledges the victims of all sides involved in violent conflict? How can various actors deal constructively with different interpretations of facts and history? Two decades after the wars, societies in Bosnia, Serbia and Croatia – albeit to different degrees – are still facing the legacies of the wars of the 1990s on a daily basis. Reconciliation between and within these societies remains a formidable challenge, given that all three countries are still facing unresolved disputes either at a cross-border level or amongst parallel societies that persist at a local community level. This book engages scholars and practitioners from the regions of former Yugoslavia, as well as international experts, to reflect on the achievements and obstacles that characterise efforts to deal with the past. Drawing variously on empirical studies, theoretical discussions, and practical experience, their contributions offer invaluable insights into the complex relationship between transitional justice and conflict transformation.
Download or read book The Paths of Heaven The Evolution of Airpower Theory written by and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Airpower is not widely understood. Even though it has come to play an increasingly important role in both peace and war, the basic concepts that define and govern airpower remain obscure to many people, even to professional military officers. This fact is largely due to fundamental differences of opinion as to whether or not the aircraft has altered the strategies of war or merely its tactics. If the former, then one can see airpower as a revolutionary leap along the continuum of war; but if the latter, then airpower is simply another weapon that joins the arsenal along with the rifle, machine gun, tank, submarine, and radio. This book implicitly assumes that airpower has brought about a revolution in war. It has altered virtually all aspects of war: how it is fought, by whom, against whom, and with what weapons. Flowing from those factors have been changes in training, organization, administration, command and control, and doctrine. War has been fundamentally transformed by the advent of the airplane.
