Die nationalen und bündnisinternen Entscheidungsprozesse auf dem Weg zum Atlantischen Bündnis vor dem Hintergrund beunruhigend empfundener Bedrohungsvorstellungen geben in multinationaler Perspektive auf teils neu erschlossener Quellengrundlage umfassend Einblick in die höchst unterschiedlichen Interessen und Motive, aus denen sich die internationalen und nationalen Akteure auf eine solidarische Allianz einließen. Die bündnispolitische Konsensfindung forderte von ihnen außergewöhnliche Modalitäten und Verfahrensweisen, die Berücksichtigung wirtschafts- und finanzpolitischer Gegebenheiten, Beachtung verteidigungspolitischer und militärstrategischer Bedingungen, hohes Einfühlungsvermögen in mentalitätsgeschichtliche Denkmuster, die Überwindung ideologischer Vorbehalte sowie ein Gespür für innen-, partei- und gesellschaftspolitisch notwendige Rücksichten. So wird verständlich, warum unter dem vorrangigen Vorbehalt weitgehender Bewahrung nationaler Souveränität Kosten und Nutzen sowie Chancen und Risiken wachsam abzuwägen waren, um eine tragfähige transatlantische Friedensordnung zu gestalten, die kosteneffiziente kollektive Sicherheit versprach. Als die Nordatlantische Allianz aus der Taufe gehoben wurde, trug sie diesem Spannungsverhältnis zwischen nationalem Selbsterhalt und Bündnissolidarität durch eine anpassungs- und wandlungsfähige Vertragsgestaltung erfolgreich Rechnung. Darin liegt eines der Geheimnisse, welche die lange Lebensdauer der NATO schon aus ihren Anfängen heraus verständlich machen.

This volume provides the reader with an overview of the state-of-the-art Earth Observation (EO) related research that deals with national and international security. An interdisciplinary approach was adopted in this book in order to provide the reader with a broad understanding on the uses of remote sensing technologies. The book therefore comprises management aspects (issues and priorities of security research, crisis response), applied methodologies and process chains (treaty monitoring, estimation of population densities and characteristics, border permeability models, damage assessment) and the latest developments in generic tools (feature recognition, change detection and visualization). Moreover, issues of data sharing and standards, as well as new approaches to training security relevant techniques, are addressed. The contributing authors are leading researchers and experts from private companies, national research institutions and international organizations, all of whom were brought together under the aegis of the European research project GMOSS (Global Monitoring for Security and Stability). This book is tailored for the scientific community that deals with the application of EO data, as well as project managers and decision makers working in the field of security having an interest in technical solutions. The integrative use of many figures and sample images are ideal in enabling the non-technical reader to grasp quickly the modern technologies that are being researched in the area of civil security.

Private actors are increasingly taking on roles traditionally arrogated to the state. Both in the industrialized North and the developing South, functions essential to external and internal security and to the satisfaction of basic human needs are routinely contracted out to non-state agents. In the area of privatization of security functions, attention by academics and policy makers tends to focus on the activities of private military and security companies, especially in thecontext of armed conflicts, and their impact on human rights and post-conflict stability and reconstruction.
