This book builds a theoretical approach to the intractable problem of theory/practice in International Relations (IR) and develops tools to study how theory and practice 'hang together' in international security. Drawing on Pierre Bourdieu's political sociology, the book argues that theory and practice take part in struggles over basic understandings (doxa) in international fields through what the book calls doxic battles. In these battles e.g. scientific facts, military hardware and social networks are mobilized as weapons in a fight for recognition. NATO's transformation and fight for survival and the rapidly growing number of think tanks in European security in the 1990s is taken as an example of these processes. The book studies a variety of sources such as funding to science programmes in Europe; think tanks and research centres in European security; NATO's relations with the EU, the WEU and the OSCE; and the mobilization of theory at crucial points in the transformation process.

Le maintien de la paix, inventé par l'ONU pour répondre à la crise de Suez en 1956, est né dans l'improvisation et n'a cessé de se développer jusqu'à devenir un outil incontournable de gestion des conflits. Pendant la Guerre froide, l'ONU a été sollicitée à plusieurs reprises pour tenter de résoudre des conflits qui auraient pu conduire les deux superpuissances à s'affronter directement. A partir de 1989, les casques bleus ont été déployés dans un grand nombre de pays pour accomplir des tâches toujours plus ambitieuses. L'ONU reste pourtant soumise à la volonté de ses Etats membres qui financent ses activités et fournissent le personnel civil et militaire nécessaire à la conduite des opérations. Cet ouvrage contribue à une meilleure connaissance du maintien de la paix. L'analyse proposée, retrace ses origines après 1945 et vise à démontrer son utilité comme mécanisme de gestion des conflits armés, malgré les nombreuses limitations que lui impose la politique internationale.

"From drone warfare in the Middle East to the NSA digital spying, the U.S. government has harnessed the power of cutting-edge technology to terrible effect. But what happens when ordinary people have the same tools at their fingertips? Benjamin Wittes and Gabriella Blum reveal that this new world is nearly upon us. Soon, our neighbors will be building armed drones capable of firing a million rounds a minute and cooking powerful viruses based on recipes found online. These new technologies will threaten not only our lives but the very foundation of the modern nation state. Wittes and Blum counterintuitively argue that only by increasing surveillance and security efforts will national governments be able to protect their citizens. The Future of Violence is at once an account of these terrifying new threats and an authoritative blueprint for how we must adapt to survive. "-- "The ability to inflict pain and suffering on large groups of people is no longer limited to the nation-state. New technologies are putting enormous power into the hands of individuals across the world--a shift that, for all its sunny possibilities, entails enormous risk for all of us, and may even challenge the principles on which the modern nation state is founded. In short, if our national governments can no longer protect us from harm, they will lose their legitimacy. Detailing the challenges that states face in this new world, legal scholars Benjamin Wittes and Gabriella Blum controversially argue in [Title TK] that national governments must expand their security efforts to protect the lives and liberty of their citizens. Wittes and Blum show how advances in cybertechnology, biotechnology, and robotics mean that more people than ever before have access to technologies--from drones to computer networks and biological data--that could possibly be used to extort or attack states and private citizens. Security, too, is no longer only under governmental purview, as private companies or organizations control many of these technologies: internet service providers in the case of cyber terrorism and digital crime, or academic institutions and individual researchers and publishers in the case of potentially harmful biotechnologies. As Wittes and Blum show, these changes could undermine the social contract that binds citizens to their governments"--
