Abstract

Les risques nucléaires sont de nature sanitaire, écologique, économique et stratégique. Universels et spécifiques, n'ayant jusqu'à présent pas trouvé de réponse politique, ils créent des “communautés de la peur”. Ce livre examine, dans une “société du risque”, les liens entre le risque et la peur ou encore entre risque et politique, ainsi que les changements intervenus depuis la fin de la guerre froide. Il insiste sur la nécessité d'insuffler un peu de démocratie dans la réflexion sur l'acceptation de ce risque.

Abstract

This report documents the results of a conference on Military Operations and Crisis Management, held at RAND in January 1990 to explore issues concerning the use of military force in crises. The conference brought together active-duty and retired military officers, analysts, academic experts, and policy officials. Together they examined the constraints on and special requirements for force employment in crises that potentially involve the superpowers in a nuclear escalation. Tension can arise between the conflicting logics and imperatives of force and diplomacy when two nuclear-armed superpowers seek to have a war without shooting at each other. The logic of force employment in crisis thus differs from that in war. Conference participants concluded that the political signal that might be intended by the manipulation of military forces may not be understood by the adversary. Political leaders must understand the possible costs and risks in military terms of actions taken with military forces. Military leaders, on the other hand, must recognize the nature of the crisis management challenge to political leaders. Finally, political leaders must communicate their objectives clearly to those in charge of implementing them.
