Abstract

Troisième volet du programme de recherche intitulé « la construction du militaire », cet ouvrage revient sur les pratiques discursives et langagières qui accompagnent la formation d'une société militaire en Europe. Prismes par lesquels les individus pensent et disent le monde qui les entoure, les formes du langage et leurs usages sociaux portent en effet les systèmes de représentation sur lesquels se construisent les identités individuelles et collectives. Lieu de la mise en scène de soi, pratique de distinction et facteur d'intégration, les usages de la langue contribuent activement à l'affirmation des sociétés et des identités militaires. En ce sens, elles sont un puissant vecteur de la cohésion au sein des armées en général, et des différents corps qui la composent en particulier. Elles sont encore un important médiateur du jeu social et des relations avec le reste du corps politique, mais également un enjeu de pouvoir. Les contributions de ce volume proposent ainsi une réflexion sur la façon dont les mots et les discours ont pris part à la construction d'une identité militaire durant une longue époque moderne courant de la fin du XVe siècle au XIXe siècle. Elles reviennent sur les enjeux politiques, institutionnels et sociaux de la désignation du militaire. Des côtes atlantiques à la grande plaine hongroise, des dernières guerres médiévales aux guerres de la révolution et de l'Empire, elles invitent à réfléchir sur ce long processus qui, de la formation d'une armée permanente à l'aube de la guerre industrielle, a transformé le guerrier en combattant de troupes régulières, et sur la manière dont l'État, la société et les militaires eux-mêmes ont façonné une condition militaire, soigneusement séparée de la condition civile.

Abstract

Aktuelle Forschungsergebnisse, um die Waffen-SS besser zu verstehen. Die in diesem Band versammelten Texte einschlägig ausgewiesener Experten erkunden bislang vernachlässigte Themenbereiche und entwickeln neue Fragestellungen zur Geschichte der bewaffneten SS. Zu ihnen gehören biographie-, struktur-, sozial- und operationsgeschichtliche Ansätze. Es wird nach der Rolle des weiblichen Personals in der Waffen-SS, nach Netzwerken innerhalb des Führerkorps sowie nach der Motivation von ausländischen Freiwilligen und Zwangsrekrutierten gefragt. Das Buch bietet auch Studien zu Soldaten, die aus Jugoslawien, Rumänien, Estland, Dänemark und Norwegen stammten. Sowohl Kriegsverbrechen als auch die Beteiligung von Waffen-SS-Einheiten am Holocaust werden beispielhaft erläutert. Die militärischen Leistungen der Waffen-SS auf dem Schlachtfeld sind Gegenstand exemplarischer Analysen. So entsteht ein differenziertes Bild der Waf-fen-SS, ihrer Organisationsstruktur, ihres Personals und ihrer Verbände, das in seiner Gesamtheit über die bislang vorliegenden monographischen Darstellungen hinausgeht.

Abstract

The security climate in Europe has chilled considerably. While we are far from a threat of a military confrontation, worst-case assumptions are frequently being made about the intentions of “the other.” A fundamental change of the climate of the relationship is possible if the West and Russia work together to increase mutual trust in the military field. Trust-building in the anarchic international environment is inherently difficult, but three approaches stand out: graduated reciprocation (a sequence of limited conciliatory steps), costly signals (bold concessions aimed at showing trustworthiness), and reliance on inter-personal dynamics, especially contacts between leaders. In the NATO–Russia context, only a combination of these three approaches aimed at reaching specific, realistically selected arms control aims can bring about notable progress. Mutual restraint and increased transparency should be the guiding principles.

Abstract

When the idea to invite Central European experts to share their views on overcoming the acute deficit of trust in the relationship between the West and Russia first originated in early 2014, there was still some hope that the Ukraine crisis would not mark the beginning of a new period of confrontation in Europe. With that in mind, PISM asked the authors not only to comment on the state of the relationship with Russia but also to assess to what extent various proposals (including Carnegie’s Euro-Atlantic Security Initiative papers and the 2013 report by U.S., Russian and European experts, “Building Mutual Security in the Euro-Atlantic Region”) regarding military confidence building and arms control dialogue with Russia would advance the security of Central European countries. However, as the situation deteriorated with Russia’s annexation of Crimea and its support for eastern Ukraine separatists, the focus inevitably had to turn from dealing with the symptoms (mutual mistrust) to addressing the root causes of the spat between Russia and the West, which now threatens the very foundations of the European security system. Previous approaches to mending the relationship, such as those focused on finding areas of cooperation based on common interests (e.g., dealing with terrorism or the Iranian nuclear programme), were unlikely to be sufficient.
