Military as the Forgotten Dimension of Political Theory / Karinis veiksnys kaip užmirštoji politinės teorijos dimensija

Šlekys, Deividas 02 March 2012 (has links)
The dissertation seeks to modify, update and bring back the tradition of political theory which based its understanding of political in the state and the society mainly on the perspective of the military dimension. The dissertation argues this forgetfulness creates serious obstacles when trying to understand contemporary military changes and their wider implications. Historical turn of political science is seen as a way to make this update real. Historical notion of Military revolution is seen as specific conceptual “tool” that will make this turn. Using historiographical analysis development of military revolution, changing character of war, transformation of armed forces and development of American civil-military, military and police relations are discussed. American case is analysed because by being the most militarily advanced Western state this country had to felt first the effect of changes in state and society caused by military transformation. / Disertacijoje siekiama išsiaiškinti, kodėl buvo užmiršta mastymo tradicija, kuri politinius veiksmus valstybėje ir visuomenėje aiškina remdamasi karine perspektyva. Ši mastymo tradicija gali būti „atrasta“ pasitelkus istorinę perspektyvą bei istorikų pasiūlyta Karinės revoliucijos (angl. military revolution) idėja. Darbe apžvelgiama „karingų“ politikos teorijų raida ir priežastys, kodėl jos buvo užmirštos aptarimui. Pasitelkus istoriografinę analizę yra detaliai aptariama Karinės revoliucijos idėjos raida, karo pobūdžio kaita, karinės organizacijos transformacija. Istoriškai valstybės karinėje srityje kopijuodavo dominuojančios, paradigminės valstybės karines (technologines, konceptualines, socialines) praktikas. Todėl darbe yra aptariama JAV kariškių ir civilių santykių bei Amerikos kariuomenės ir policijos institucijų sąveikos būklė, nes manoma, jog būdamos stipriausia karinė galybė pasaulyje JAV anksčiau už kitas Vakarų valstybes patiria pokyčius, aptariamus šioje disertacijoje.

The swing of the pendulum: Sweden's pivot to NATO : A case of small states' shift in security policy

Bonnier, Irena January 2024 (has links)
Sweden is the only state in the Baltic Sea region currently not under NATO protection, which puts the state in a particularly vulnerable position. On 18 May 2022, Sweden officially deemed NATO alignment a more effective option of security strategy in projecting deterrence and dealing with the security challenges the state is facing, compared to a strategy of non-alignment which has been Sweden’s security posture for over 200 years. The aim of the thesis is to explain this shift in Sweden’s security policy.  The thesis will explain small states’ security policy beyond the traditional explanations found in realist theory of state-centric threat balancing and sovereignty. Shelter theory claims that small states’ options for security is either to find a protecting power or join an alliance in order to be politically and militarily sustainable. The thesis will analyse Sweden’s shift in security policy by examining shelter theory’s claim that in order for small states to survive and prosper, buffering up domestic capabilities does not suffice, they need to seek political and military shelter from external security providers by implementing bi- or multilateral agreements with neighbouring states, great powers and by joining alliances.  Analysing a long-time deviant case of a non-aligned small state, this thesis argues that Sweden’s drawn-out road-map to NATO membership is problematic to explain from the perspective of shelter theory. Consequently, the thesis makes the additional claim that factors related to Sweden’s domestic policy, such as public opinion and the nearly institutionalised practice of broad political consensus in issues relating to security policy, also play an important role for the design of Sweden’s security policy. Shelter theory in combination with domestic factors’ influence on security policy change offer a more fully fledged explanation of Sweden's shift in security policy to NATO alignment. This thesis argues that its findings complement and enhance shelter theory by shedding light on the importance of domestic factors in the study of small states’ security policy.
