Abstract

Contemporary security development is characterized by growing interdependence of security phenomena at local, national, regional and global level (Kegley, Wittkopf 2006). Within the world regions regional security complexes with their regional security orders were established (Stewart-Ingersoll, Frazier: 2012). The so called “new definition”of the regional security complex is related to „a set of units whose major processes of securitization, desecuritization or both are so interlinked that their security problems cannot reasonably be analyzed or resolved apart from one another“ (Buzan, Waever, de Wilde 1997: 201)“.

Abstract

An urgently needed examination of the current cyber revolution that draws on case studies to develop conceptual frameworks for understanding its effects on international order The cyber revolution is the revolution of our time. The rapid expansion of cyberspace brings both promise and peril. It promotes new modes of political interaction, but it also disrupts interstate dealings and empowers non-state actors who may instigate diplomatic and military crises. Despite significant experience with cyber phenomena, the conceptual apparatus to analyze, understand, and address their effects on international order remains primitive. Here, Lucas Kello adapts and applies international relations theory to create new ways of thinking about cyber strategy. Kello draws on a broad range of case studies, including the Estonian crisis, the Olympic Games operation against Iran, and the cyber attack against Sony Pictures. Synthesizing qualitative data from government documents, forensic reports of major incidents and interviews with senior officials from around the globe, this important work establishes new conceptual benchmarks to help security experts adapt strategy and policy to the unprecedented challenges of our times.

Abstract

The approach to research in global security from the perspective of the human sciences presents a number of challenges. NATO and ESF, aware of the importance of this endeavor, have commissioned l'Institut Francais d'Analyse Strategique (IFAS) to organize a number of activities aimed at identifying potential areas for research. This book presents the findings of these investigations. Whilst the human sciences will of course continue their traditional activities and research, the intention is to establish an additional ""security oriented sector"" for the new generation, to which each discipline

Abstract

This book contains 20 papers drawn from presentations and discussions at the NATO Advanced Research Workshop on Complex Societal Dynamics: Security Challenges and Opportunities, held in Zagreb, Croatia in December 2009. The theory of complex systems views societies as complex configurations of actors engaged in overlapping and interlocking patterns of relationship. While the rapid development of computing capabilities has provided the tools to study complex systems in a controlled, repeatable and rigorous manner, these are rarely applied to the security domain, and security experts are not ade

Abstract

The Asia-Pacific has become the Indo-Pacific region as the US, Japan, Australia and India have decided to join forces and scale-up their political, economic and security cooperation. The message coming from Washington, Tokyo, Canberra and New Delhi is clear: China's Belt and Road Initiative is no longer the only game in town and Beijing's policymakers better get ready for fierce competition. Japan's ongoing and future "quality infrastructure" policies and investments in the Indo-Pacific, in particular, make it very clear that Tokyo wants a (much) bigger slice of the pie of infrastructure investments in the region. China's territorial expansionism in the South China Sea and its increasing interests and presence in countries in South Asia have done their share to help the four aforesaid countries expand their security and defence ties. Beijing, of course, smells containment in all of this and it probably has a point. Who will have the upper hand in shaping and defining Asian security and providing developing South and Southeast Asia with badly-needed infrastructure: the US and Japan together with its allies or the increasingly assertive and uncompromising China and its Belt and Road Initiative?

Abstract

While widely considered a core pillar of the peace and security architecture, Security Sector Reform (SSR) is coming under fire. SSR theory and practice are criticized for being overly focused on traditional conflict and post-conflict settings and for being unable to adjust to unconventional settings marked by chronic crime and terrorism. SSR tends to be disproportionately focused on national institutions and less amenable to engaging at the subnational scale. Drawing on the experiences of so-called 'citizen security' measures in cities across Latin America and the Caribbean, this paper offers some opportunities for renewing and revitalizing SSR. The emphasis of citizen security interventions on multiple forms of insecurity, data-driven and evidence-informed prevention, the promotion of social cohesion and efficacy and designing crime prevention into the social and built environment are all insights that can positively reinforce comprehensive SSR measures in the 21st century.

Abstract

De bestrijding van overlast en criminaliteit is uitgegroeid tot het werkveld van allerlei organisaties. Hierdoor zijn netwerken ontstaan die niet altijd even overzichtelijk zijn. Scherp geformuleerd kan de lokale veiligheidszorg enigszins als een chaos worden bestempeld. Daarom staan autoriteiten voor een grote uitdaging: hoe kunnen gemeenten en politiekorpsen richting geven aan veiligheidsnetwerken? In Strategieën van lokale veiligheid: een achtergrondstudie en drie reflecties wordt geprobeerd antwoorden te formuleren op de geconstateerde complexiteit. Een aantal deskundige auteurs (Ronald va

Abstract

2017 wird der ukrainische Journalist Stanislav Aseyev im okkupierten Donezk verhaftet und wegen "Extremismus" sowie "Spionage" zu 15 Jahren Haft verurteilt - unter anderem, weil er in seinen Reportagen aus dem Kriegsgebiet das Wort "Donezker Volksrepublik" in Anführungszeichen gesetzt hatte. Zweieinhalb Jahre verbringt er in Haft, den Großteil in der so genannten "Isolation", einem Donezker Foltergefängnis mit der Adresse Heller Weg 3. Die dortige ehemalige Fabrik wurde 2014 in ein Konzentrationslager verwandelt und steht seither unter Moskauer Kontrolle. Hinter dem Gefängniszaun gelten keine Gesetze, das Leben ist bestimmt von Demütigung, Angst und Folter. Um in der Hölle des Lagers überleben zu können, schreibt Aseyev, wann immer er kann: auf Pappfetzen und Papierresten. Er lernt Textfragmente auswendig und sagt sie vor sich her. So kann er sie bewahren, obwohl ihm seine Aufzeichnungen später abgenommen werden. Offen, tiefgründig und emotional berichtet der Journalist von Leid, das im heutigen Europa unvorstellbar scheint. Seine Mission ist es zu überleben, um berichten zu können. Ende 2019 kommt Aseyev durch einen Gefangenenaustausch zwischen Russland und der Ukraine frei. Das Buch legt Zeugnis ab über ein heutiges Konzentrationslager, von dem nur wenige wissen, obwohl das UNO-Hochkommissariat für Menschenrechte dortige Folterungen dokumentiert hat. Diese Erzählung handelt davon, wie es gelingen kann, menschlich zu bleiben unter unmenschlichen Bedingungen; von Glauben,Vergebung, Hass - und dem Leben danach.
