Text in Afrikaans / Tydens teeninsurgensie is daar 'n duidelik waarneembare intensivering van die burokratiese wedywering tussen die polisie en die militere, wat in wese om kwessies soos prestige, uitbreiding en modernisering sentreer. In die onderhawige studie is die problematiek rondom die rolverdeling van die polisie en die militere in teeninsurgensie aan die hand van die rewolusionere oorlog in Namibig, as 'n gevallestudie en met besondere verwysing na die rol van die polisie, ondersoek. In die studie word 'n aantal algemene bevindinge, sowel as 'n aantal primere en sekondere bevindinge gemaak. Die kern van die bevindinge bestaan uit 'n drieledige gevolgtrekking: eerstens dat die rolle van die polisie en die militere in teeninsurgensie komplementer is; tweedens dat daar 'n tydige en duidelike rolverdeling moet wees; en derdens dat, alhoewel die polisie 'n beperkte militere rol het, die swaartepunt van die polisie-teeninsurgensierol buite die militere dimensie geleg is. / During counterinsurgency there is a clearly perceptible intensification of the bureaucratic competition between the police and the military which, in essence, revolves around questions such as prestige, expansion and modernisation. In this study the problems surrounding the role division of the police and the military in counterinsurgency, as manifested in the revolutionary war in Namibia and with specific reference to the role of the police, were investigated as a case study. The study concludes with a number of general findings, as well as a number of primary and secondary findings. The nucleus of the findings consist of a threefold conclusion: Firstly, that the police and military roles in counterinsurgency are complementary; secondly, that there must be a timeous and clear role division; and thirdly, that although the police have a limited military role, the centre of gravity of the police counterinsurgency role lies outside the military dimension. / Political Sciences / M.A. (Strategiese Studies)

Com o fim do Império Nipônico, o Japão sofreu diversas mudanças que tiveram impacto na Política Externa japonesa ao longo de mais de 50 anos. Após reaver sua soberania em 1952, e por ser constitucionalmente proibido de manter Forças Armadas, o país formulou sua Política Externa e de Defesa tendo como o pilar principal os Estados Unidos da América, em uma posição de subordinação, como um "free rider". Esperava-se, contudo, que tal condição não duraria por muito tempo. Previa-se que o Arquipélago se transformaria em uma potência militar assim que se transformasse em uma potência econômica. Até o final do século XX, o Japão não conseguiu atingir o status que lhe era previsto. Entretanto, a partir de 2001, o país ingressou-se em uma política revisionista, o que mudou conceitos, teorias e características que permeavam a Política Externa japonesa. O Japão decidiu mudar seu comportamento em Defesa, o que foi bem visto pelos EUA. A presente tese tem como objetivo analisar a Política de Defesa do Japão e suas principais mudanças na primeira década do século XXI. / Abstract: The way Japan entered the international community after its defeat in World War II makes it a unique model in the international relations. After the end of the Japanese Empire, Japan has gone through many changes that impacted its foreign policy during the next 50 years. After restoring its sovereignty in 1952 and under a constitutional ban on any armed forces, Japan formulated its foreign and defense policy centered in the US, under a subordinated role, as a free rider. It was expected, however, that such condition would not last for a long time. It was expected that Japan would turn into a military power after being a economic power. At the end of the 20th century, Japan did not reach the role that was foreseen. Nevertheless, from 2001 on, Japan started a revisionist policy, which has changed concepts, theories and characteristics that described the Japanese foreign policy. Japan then decided to change its behavior in defense and it was welcomed by the US. This thesis analyses the defense policy of Japan and its main changes during the first decade of the 21st century. / Doutor

O objetivo do estudo é compreender a construção de padrões divergentes de utilização dos instrumentos castrenses nos dois países estudados. Enquanto os militares argentinos são treinados e empregados predominantemente para o combate de ameaças externas de natureza estatal, as Forças Armadas brasileiras estão direcionadas essencialmente ao enfrentamento de problemas internos e atores não-estatais. Defendemos a hipótese de que os processos de rompimento e continuidade do papel das forças armadas argentinas e brasileiras – entendido como o conjunto de ações com as quais as mesmas identificam-se e são identificadas –, desencadeados com a transição das ditaduras militares para a democracia nos países estudados, geraram as condições de possibilidade para a conformação da situação em tela. Em relação à bibliografia especializada, a hipótese defendida opõe-se à lógica explicativa positivista, segundo a qual a definição das missões militares é uma resposta pragmática a uma realidade objetiva e à concepção de que o controle político das instituições castrenses resulta na diminuição da atuação militar no interior das fronteiras nacionais. / The research subject is the deployment of armed forces – foreign policy instrument – in public security operations in Argentina and Brazil, between 2005 and 2015. It aims to comprehend the construction of diverging patterns of military deployment in the studied countries. While argentinians militaries are primarily trained and employed to confront external threats, brazilian Armed Forces are essentially directed to deal with internal problems and confront non-state actors. The hypothesis sustained is that the processes of rupture and continuity in the argentinian and brazilian armed forces role – understood as the set of actions in which military are recognized and recognize themselves –, triggered by the transition from dictatorship to democracy, created the conditions possibility for the setting of the analyzed scenery. With regard to the specialized literature, this hypothesis opposes the positivist approach that understands the definition of military missions as a pragmatic reply to an objective reality and the argument that political control of military institutions decreases the deployment of it inside national boundaries. / 130670/2016-2

Durante a Guerra Fria, o papel dos militares no Brasil era conter "a ameaça comunista", segundo a diretriz passada pelos Estados Unidos, o chefe do bloco capitalista no confronto ideológico. A luta contra esse inimigo interno incentivou sua participação na política, levando os militares a, inclusive, exercer o controle do governo. Passado o período do governo autoritário e, principalmente, com o fim da bipolaridade da Guerra Fria, criou-se um novo cenário político-estratégico no mundo. Nesse cenário, a hipótese de uma nova guerra mundial, como a que se previa anteriormente, já não se sustentava, e tampouco se matinha a hipótese de um conflito regional envolvendo diretamente o Brasil. Novas ameaças, como o tráfico de drogas, o crime organizado, a imigração descontrolada e a degradação ambiental voltam a atenção dos países centrais para a periferia do sistema. Centros formuladores de políticas sugerem a redução de contingentes e dos investimentos em defesa, e lançam diretrizes para o emprego das forças armadas do então chamado "Terceiro Mundo". Dentre tais diretrizes, temos a atribuição de uma tarefa policial às forças armadas, de combate ao narcotráfico e desordens urbanas. Paralelamente, as Forças Armadas brasileiras enfrentam a gradual erosão de seu poder dentro do governo e do Estado. Essa crise afeta as Forças Armadas enquanto instituição, agora em busca de um novo posicionamento em relação ao ambiente democrático. O estudo desenvolvido procurou apreender a dimensão da adaptação dos militares, especialmente os do Exército, à nova realidade do referido período, partindo da premissa de que os militares encontraram formas alternativas de defender seus interesses para enfrentar os desafios que se apresentam / Abstract: The theme of this dissertation is the definition of missions or roles for the Brazilian Anned Forces, specially the Anny, in the post-Cold War period. During the Cold War, the role of the military in BraziL was to stop "the communist menace", following the guidelines ofthe United States, head of the capitalist bloc in the ideological confrontation. The fight against this internal enemyencouraged their political involvement, even leading the military to take over the government. After the authoritarian rule was over, and mainly, with the end ofthe bipolar system ofthe Cold War, a new political-strategic scenario was brought about in the world. ln this scenario, the hypothesis of a new world war as it was fonnerly predicted was no longer valid, neither was there a hypothesis of a regional conflict directly involving Brazil. New threats, such as trafficking in drugs, organized crime, uncontrolled immigration and environmental degradation call the attention of core states to the periphery of the system. Policy-makers suggest guidelines to the use of the anned forces in the then called "Third World", among which the reduction of personnel and investments and the assignment of a police role to the anned forces, of fighting drug traffic and urban riots. Parallel to this, the military also face a gradual erosion of the power they had within the government and the state. This crisis affects the Anned Forces as an institution, now in search of a new place in a democratic environment. This study searched to grasp the dimension of the adaptation of the military, specially the anny personnel, to the new reality of the above mentioned period, assuming that the military found alternative ways of defending their interests to meet the challenges that are set / Mestrado / Ciencia Politica / Mestre em Ciência Política

This study examines the evolution of Canadian defence organization and administration from the integration and unification of the Canadian Forces, starting with the arrival of Paul Hellyer as Minister of National Defence in 1963, to the full integration of military and civilian staffs at National Defence Headquarters in 1972. It seeks to understand the underlying defence management philosophy by explaining the evolving decision-making process and how and why certain management techniques and organizational concepts came to be embodied in the policy process. The goal of this work is to gain insight into not only the management of defence but its relationship to, and place within, general organization and management theory. The idea of rationalizing the business of defence lies at the heart of the history of the reorganizations in the 1960s and early 1970s. Management and organization were arranged to allow defence decision-making to become a more rational process, characterized by new degrees of control, in order to aid the overall effectiveness of the policy-making process. Overall, there existed a progression of administrative and management rationalization that had been occurring not only in the post-Second World War era, but since the turn of the century, both within and without the public sphere. While there was much to be critical about unification and the general defence policy vision of Hellyer, the evolution and development of modern management techniques in defence during the 1960s can largely be situated within an ongoing history of bureaucratization and management evolution of large scale organizations in general and military organizations in particular.

Background: Ex-armed forces personnel constitute 3.5% of the prison population in England and Wales but we know little about why some former service personnel end up in prison. Furthermore, understanding what the mental health needs of this group are and how to meet them will inform service delivery and offending prevention strategies. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the mental health needs, and explore the pathways to offending, of ex-armed forces personnel in prison. Methods: A mixed methods design was used. A researcher administered questionnaire collected demographic information; details of pre-service; military experience; circumstances post-armed forces; and a detailed assessment of mental health of 105 male ex-armed forces personnel in prison. Their healthcare and offending records were accessed to record any formal mental health diagnoses and details of previous offending. Two studies made up the qualitative arm of the study: study 1 used semi-structured interviews (n = 20) to explore the pathways to offending of ex-armed forces personnel in prison from their perspective and study 2 employed semi-structured interviews with prisoners (n = 10) and a focus group with professionals (n = 5) to explore the service needs and treatment barriers of former service personnel in prison. Results: Of 105 participants, 40 (38%) screened positively for a current common mental health (CCMH) problem (i.e. depression, anxiety or post-traumatic stress disorder [PTSD]) and a high prevalence of alcohol misuse was assessed (n = 59, 56%). Over half of the sample were serving their first custodial sentence (n = 58, 55%). Violent offences were the most common index offence (n = 34, 32%) and the majority of the sample had previous convictions recorded (n = 70, 71%). Participants considered their pathways to offending as complex and incorporating pre-service, military service and post-service factors. Perceived influences on offending included mental health and substance misuse problems, impulsivity and problem solving difficulties. Prison was considered an opportunity to access help and staff having military awareness was thought to encourage help-seeking. However, stigma and previous negative experiences were perceived to make asking for help difficult and the variability in support across the prison estate was considered a barrier to support by all. Discussion: The findings of this study add to the literature and our knowledge of ex-armed forces personnel in prison. The study found that the mental health needs of the group are largely similar to the general prison population but that potential nuances exist regarding alcohol misuse and PTSD. The pathways to offending of the group are complex and are influenced by a number of factors in veterans' lives. Based on the findings of the study implications and directions for future work are discussed.

This thesis aims to analyse how well recruits of the Swedish Armed Forces (SAF) have embraced soldier ideals put forward by the SAF following a shift in means of recruiting, changing from a system of compulsive conscription to an All-volunteer force (AVF). This has been done using a Governmentality-analysis of an extensive survey conducted at Ärna Air Base in November of 2019. The concept of Governmentality has to do with the way states and other forms of authorities govern. Launched in the 1970s by French philosopher Michel Foucault, it is based on an understanding that states no longer governing mainly by force, but rather by appealing to its citizens’ free will governing through “the conduct of conduct”, through the creation of self-governing subjects. The recruits were asked to rank different reasons for enlisting, and to assess various ideal qualities of a soldier, as well as pictures used by the SAF with the intention to recruit soldiers. The results were widespread and showed a big dissonance both among the recruits internally but also between the SAF’s military identities promoted by the SAF and the recruits. In some instances, the recruits seem to embrace the SAF’s ideals and in others they seem to be hostile of them. A few reasons for this are suggested in the final chapter of the thesis for example the societal collective understanding of the SAF or the role of the instructing officers.

The activities of the Department of National Defence (DND) account for more than half of the Government of Canada's greenhouse gas emissions. This research examines a clean energy propulsion solution to DND’s carbon footprint using a Proton Exchange Membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) battery hybrid powertrain for military armoured vehicles as a means of meeting Canada's Greening Defence initiatives. Real-world military vehicle operational data is used to create the operation profile for military vehicle powertrain design requirements. Following the model-based design (MBD) approach, the vehicle dynamics, fuel cell system and powertrain system models implemented in MATLAB/Simulink are used to predict the vehicle's performance, emissions, and operational costs. This research examines the feasibility of using a fuel cell-battery electric powertrain for a military armoured vehicle and produces a feasible design solution to meet the identified vehicle operation and performance requirements. The fuel cost and powertrain component performance degradations are modelled to predict the operation costs of the clean vehicle with the benefits of reduced emissions, noise and thermal profiles. The results of this research suggest there are viable, clean propulsion system and energy storage system (ESS) configurations that satisfy the requirements of the operational profile of military armoured vehicles. This research serves as a foundation for the use of clean military vehicle propulsion in Canada. / Graduate

This work entitled "Legal and internal regulations in Czech armed forces" endeavours to tackle the relation between legal and internal regulations in public administration focusing on their hierarchy, quantity, liability in specific area of armed forces. At first sight military service is independent on legal code, because there is wide range and amount of relatively autonomous service regulations and official channels. Career soldiers and civil employees have to obey not only the texts of legislation composed of laws, govermental directions etc., but also must maintain discipline and work rules founded on internal orders, guidelines and advices. All commanders and managers as military superiors are obliged to enforce their authority through this regulations. Relation between legal and internal level is not clear. There are many doubts and questions based on facts regarding for instance these features and issues of any internal system of rules: delegation of authority to creation and publishing; verification of compatibility and harmony with legal framework; persistence, integrity, perpetual modifications and amendments.
