The civilian level of motivation to defend Austria in case of an invasion is shown to be rather low compared to other European countries, where only 15-30 % of the Austrian population say they are willing to defend the country. The use of civilian support in war has been shown as an important factor during the Russo-Ukrainian war, where thousands of volunteers joined the armed forces to defend their country. Using civilians as a part of the civil defense is also shown to have a powerful deterrent effect for a foreign invasion.   This study contributes to an in-depth understanding how Austrian officers’ and cadets’ motivation is affected by the low civilian level of motivation to defend the nation. This was done by collecting qualitative data by doing semi-structured interviews with four officers and four cadets, seven men and one woman. The results from the interviews were later analysed with a textual analysis to identify common themes and patterns.   The study shows that the motivation among the military personnel was not affected by a low civilian will to defend the country. A majority of the respondents also saw several risks with having a low support from the civil society. This could create challenges regarding securing personnel and maintaining a high moral among the troops during wartime.

資源委員會的特種礦產統制（1936-1949 ） 資源委員會是抗戰時期舉辦國防工業，充實抗戰力量最重要工作有二：一是舉辦工、 礦、電各業以應政府抗戰之需；一是運銷事宜。所謂的出口礦產即鎢、銻、錫、汞等 特種礦產。 抗戰期間，中國因為財政的匱乏，軍需的不足，亟需各前提的國際社會並不能真正伸 出援手。中國要以本國所特有國的借款。在中國所蘊藏的資料中，鎢、銻藏量高居世 界第一的藏量則較不重要，但因它們都是有關軍需工業的重要資料下，以換取中國所 需的軍火及各項工業產品。 中國戰時輸出特礦，一則提昇本身的抗戰力，一則幫助之虞。所以資源委員會特統制 特種礦產，自有其不可磨滅的 本文的討論，除前言，結論外，分為四章。 第一章，探討統制特種礦產的原因。先由中國既有的資源基礎，再由中國財政，運需 兩方面，分析統制特礦的主要觀念。 第二章，討論中國和各國借款的簽訂以及統制機關的確認特種礦產為抵押品的各國借 款；第二神職人員敘述中國為因應償還之歷史。 第三章，討論特礦統制工作的推展。以生產，運輸，推廣。 第四章，檢討資源委員會統制特種礦產的成效。 本文所使用的資料，以庋藏於中央研究院近史所以及國為主，其次為資源委員會出版 的月刊、季刊、公報。 第一節由統制法規之頒布與各地之反應談起，第二∼四節， 則以價格為討論之中心，分述資委會統制活動中產收，運輸，銷售三種業務的推展情 形及其所遭遇之困難。 第五章，檢討資委會統制特種礦產之成效，並探究影響資委會統制成效的最大的環境 因素。

Este trabalho analisa as perspectivas de defesa e segurança de Brasil e Venezuela contextualizando com as dinâmicas políticas sul-americanas e mundiais tendo o objetivo de estabelecer as diretrizes básicas de cada estrutura assim como apontar para os pontos de convergência existentes entre ambos com o objetivo de compreender possibilidades futuras de ações coordenadas. Para tanto foi selecionado o período que vai de 1998 até 2010, para o caso venezuelano, e 2003 a 2010, para ocaso brasileiro. / This paper examines the prospects for defense and security issues of Brazil and Venezuela, contextualizing with the political dynamics of South America and worldwide with the goal of establishing the basic guidelines of each structure as well as targeting the points of convergence between both, in order to understand future possibilities of coordinated actions. Therefore we selected the period from 1998 to 2010 for the Venezuelan case, and from 2003 to 2010, going down to Brazil.

The permissible use of defensive force is a central tenet of the traditional legal and philosophical justification for war and its practice. Just War Theory holds a nation’s right to resist aggressive attack with defensive force as the clearest example of a just cause for war. Just War Theory also stipulates norms for warfare derived from a conception of defensive force asserted to be consistent with the moral reality of war. Recently, these aspects of Just War Theory have been criticized. David Rodin has challenged the status of national defense as an uncontroversial just cause. Jeff McMahan has charged that Just War Theory’s norms that govern warfare are inconsistent with the norms of permissive defensive force. In this thesis I defend the status of national defense as a clear case of a just cause. However, my defense may require revision of Just War Theory’s norms that govern warfare.

Denna uppsats är en komparativ fallstudie som undersöker fyra länsstyrelsers planering av civilt försvar ur ett samverkansperspektiv. De undersökta länsstyrelserna är Halland, Västra Götaland, Värmland och Örebro län. Den övergripande frågan är vilka likheter och skillnader som finns mellan länsstyrelsernas planering. Empirin är inhämtad genom semistrukturerade kvalitativa intervjuer med tjänstemän i chefs- samt handläggarnivå vid de undersökta länsstyrelserna. Det inhämtade materialet är kategoriserat och analyserat utifrån en analysmodell som bygger på ett ramverk, An Integrative Framework for Collaborative Governance. I analysen jämförs de fyra länsstyrelsernas arbete med att planera civilt försvar genom samverkan. Resultatet av studien påvisar att det finns stora skillnader mellan de undersökta länsstyrelserna i hur de har tagit sig an uppgiften och vilken verksamhet de bedriver för att skapa legitimitet, gränsöverskridande åtgärder och helhetsförståelse mellan aktörer för att skapa förutsättningar för planering av civilt försvar. Det finns även stora skillnader i hur de har uppfattat den styrning som kommer från central nivå. Resultatet påvisar även att det finns stora likheter i de behov de fyra länsstyrelserna lyfter fram, bland annat samordning i den hierarkiska organisationen från central- ned till lokal nivå avseende branschöverenskommelser och en sammanhållen planeringsprocess. Ramverket kan konstateras vara användbart som analysmodell avseende samverkan vid planering av civilt försvar. / This essay is a comparative case study that examines the planning of civil defense from Halland, Västra Götaland, Värmland and Örebro county administrative boards from a collaborative perspective. The overall question is what similarities and differences exist between the county administrative board planning. The empiric material is obtained through semi-structured qualitative interviews with officials at the executive and supervisory level of the investigated county administrative boards. The collected material is categorized and analyzed based on an analysis model based on a framework, An Integrative Framework for Collaborative Governance. The analysis compares the work of the four county administrative boards in planning civil defense through cooperation. The results of the study shows that there are major differences between the county administrative authorities in how they have taken on the task and what activity they are pursuing to create legitimacy, cross-border action and overall understanding between actors to create the conditions for civil defense planning. There are also major differences in how they perceived the governance that comes from national authority. The result also shows that there are major similarities in the needs of the four county administrative boards, including coordination in the hierarchical organization from national to local level regarding industry agreements and coherent planning. The framework can be found useful as an analysis tool for collaborative planning in civil defense.

For in such a way, the proposal was developed from the analysis of the systems of protection and monitoring of the Amazonian (SIPAM/SIVAM), where we search to inquire as these systems have contributed for the definition and implantation of these politics. For the Amazonian, with its natural wealth, threats and vulnerabilities, the perspectives of integration, security and national defense and of sustainable development constitute great challenges to be faced, where the efficient use of the technology is a basic reference that must be incorporated in the strategies and public politics in these areas. One is about a strategical project, conceived with vision of future, protection and development of the . The objective SIPAM/SIVAM the defense and the guarantee of the Brazilian sovereignty in the Legal Amazonian, beyond the systematization and accomplishment of the governmental actions in the region, by means of the intensive use of technological apparatus. In turn, they reflect the priority that the Amazon region has in terms of defense and security for the Country, and symbolize the strategy of the State to protect it. The SIPAM/SIVAM if finds in a boarding line in which the guarantee of the national sovereignty also involves the care with the development of the local population, inside of a proposal educative and integrator. Like conclusion we affirm that of the SIPAM/SIVAM creates a new paradigm for the public administration, where the organizations work with a shared set of information, beyond starting to act of integrated form. Thus, when searching permanently the rationalization of efforts and resources, trying an unknown form of institution relationship where infrastructure and products are shared, the SIPAM/SIVAM creates a new premise for the Brazilian public administration and contributes to give a new direction to the development of the Amazonian. / O objetivo deste trabalho é o estudo das correlações existentes entre o uso estratégico da informação e a articulação e implementação de políticas de defesa e segurança nacional na Amazônia Legal. Para tanto, a proposta foi desenvolvida a partir da análise dos sistemas de proteção e de vigilância da Amazônia para a definição e implantação dessas políticas. Para a Amazônia, com suas riquezas naturais, ameaças e vulnerabilidades, as perspectivas de integração, segurança e defesa nacional e de desenvolvimento sustentável constituem grandes desafios a serem enfrentados, em que o uso eficaz da tecnologia é uma referência básica que deve ser incorporada nas estratégias e políticas públicas nessas áreas. Trata-se de um projeto estratégico, concebido com visão de futuro, de proteção e desenvolvimento da Amazônia Legal, uma área vital para o País. O SIPAM/SIVAM objetiva a defesa e a garantia da soberania brasileira na Amazônia Legal, além da sistematização e efetivação das ações governamentais na região, por meio do uso intensivo de aparato tecnológico. Por sua vez, refletem a prioridade que a região amazônica tem em termos de defesa e segurança para o País, e simbolizam a estratégia do Estado para protegê-la. O SIPAM/SIVAM se encontra em uma linha de abordagem na qual a garantia da soberania nacional na Amazônia, além do empreendimento estratégico-militar, envolve também o cuidado com o desenvolvimento da população local, dentro de uma proposta educativa e integradora. A guisa de conclusão afirmamos que o SIPAM/SIVAM cria um novo paradigma para a administração pública, em que as organizações trabalham com um conjunto compartilhado de informações, além de passar a agir de forma integrada. Assim, ao buscar permanentemente a racionalização de esforços e recursos, experimentando uma forma inédita de relacionamento interinstitucional em que infra-estrutura e produtos são compartilhados, o SIPAM/SIVAM cria uma nova premissa para a administração pública brasileira e contribui para dar uma nova direção ao desenvolvimento da Amazônia.

[pt] Esta pesquisa versa sobre as novas requisições postas aos assistentes sociais da Aeronáutica, abordando, particularmente, os impactos para o serviço social, ao considerar a relação entre as transformações que vem sendo efetivadas no universo do trabalho dos militares e as políticas de defesa nacional, aprovadas nos anos 2000. Buscou dar visibilidade às respostas, construídas pela profissão, a partir de um ponto ainda não analisado, que se relaciona à atuação dos assistentes sociais nas missões operacionais das Forças Armadas. O trabalho partiu de uma revisão bibliográfica sobre as atuais políticas de defesa nacional e, em especial, daquelas de caráter subsidiário, bem como do exame das principais normas técnicas que regulamentam a atuação profissional. Para viabilizar tal estudo, foi realizada uma pesquisa com enfoque qualitativo, visando analisar o trabalho profissional dos assistentes sociais e as requisições do campo operacional. Dessa forma, recorreu-se a três eixos, a saber: Trabalhadores militares e os desafios do campo operacional subsidiário; Missões Subsidiárias: o olhar do Serviço Social e a construção do seu lugar; Serviço Social e a legitimação do espaço socio-ocupacional nas missões da Força Aérea Brasileira, envolvendo organizações militares do Comando da Aeronáutica nas áreas de assistência social, saúde, controle do espaço aéreo, logística operacional e aviação, de todo o país. Os resultados da pesquisa demonstram que o cenário de intensas transformações e novas requisições para a profissão, na Aeronáutica, é acompanhado por uma condição de trabalho, na maioria dos casos, marcada pelo caráter de instabilidade no serviço militar. Outro ponto sinalizado centra-se nos impactos para a profissão, oriundos, de um lado, pelas transformações em curso no mundo do trabalho e, de outro, das novas requisições que acompanham as atuais políticas de defesa nacional. Os resultados da pesquisa também indicam o caráter pontual e fragmentado das ações do serviço social no âmbito das missões subsidiárias. Tal questão é justificada pela própria lógica normativa, a qual prevê a transitoriedade nas operações militares dessa natureza, tendo em vista não ser essa a missão constitucional das Forças Armadas. A partir dos dados levantados, esta tese defende a necessidade de conhecimento, por parte da profissão, sobre as políticas de defesa nacional e, em particular, do emprego atual das missões subsidiárias, ao considerar que a invisibilidade desta área dificulta investimentos em estudos sobre o espaço socio-ocupacional das Forças Armadas, além de manter a distância entre as ações e possibilidades deste campo com o projeto ético-político do Serviço Social. / [en] This research deals with the new requests made to Aeronautics social workers. Addressing, in particular, the impacts to the social work, considering the relationship between the transformations that have been made in the universe of military work and defense policies of Brazil, approved in the 2000s. It sought to give visibility to the answers, built by the profession, from a point not yet analyzed, which is related to the work of social workers in the operational missions of the Armed Forces. The work started with a bibliographical review on the current national defense policies, and especially those of a subsidiary nature, as well as the examination of the main technical norms that regulate the professional performance. To make this study viable, a qualitative research was carried out, aiming to analyze the professional work of social workers and the requisitions of the operational field. In this way, three axes were used, namely: Military workers and the challenges of the subsidiary operational field; Subsidiary Missions: the look of Social Service and the construction of its place; Social Service and the legitimation of the socio-occupational space in the missions of the Brazilian Air Force, involving military organizations of the Aeronautics Command in the areas of social assistance, health, airspace control, operational logistics and aviation, throughout the country. The results of the research demonstrate that the scenario of intense transformations and new requisitions for the profession, in the Aeronautics, is accompanied by a work condition, in most cases, marked by the instability character in the military service. Another signaled point focuses on the impacts to the profession, originating, on the one hand, by the ongoing transformations in the world of work and, on the other hand, the new requisitions that accompany current national defense policies. The results of the research also indicate the punctual and fragmented nature of social work actions within the scope of subsidiary missions. This issue is justified by the normative logic itself, which provides for transitoriness in military operations of this nature, since this is not the constitutional mission of the Armed Forces. Based on the data collected, this thesis argues the need for the profession to know about national defense policies and, in particular, the current use of subsidiary missions, considering that the invisibility of this area makes it difficult to invest in studies on the socio-occupational space of the Armed Forces, besides maintaining the distance between the actions and possibilities of this field with the ethical-political project of the Social Work.
