Military Forces in 21st Century Peace Operations : No Job for a Soldier? Paperback / softback
by James V. Arbuckle
Part of the Contemporary Security Studies series
Paperback / softback
Description
A major new study of the realities of contemporary warfare, which presents a range of fresh insights and is essential reading for all students and professionals engaged in the field. This book clearly shows us that: neither military nor civilian agencies can act effectively alone in resolving modern conflictsjoint civil-military efforts are needed, and those efforts must be deliberately planned from the outset of an operation; they cannot be added on as afterthoughts when all else has failedthe record of our efforts over nearly a decade and a half since the end of the Cold War demonstrates that we are doing badly at creating civil-military partnerships, and that we are not getting better. James V. Arbuckle shows how these issues are neither structural nor organizational - they are cultural.
They involve attitudes, beliefs, perceptions – positive and negative, true and false.
The solutions will involve changing attitudes, moving beyond prejudices, replacing competition with cooperation.
The principal mechanisms for this will be common civil-military training and education.
