Abstract

Personnages emblématiques de la guerre de Cent ans, les capitaines français sont parmi les plus célèbres des combattants médiévaux. Ils illustrent les caractéristiques et la transformation de la chevalerie noble après le XIIIe siècle. Cette place fait leur succès chez les amateurs d'histoire, quand elle ne conduit pas à les considérer comme un repoussoir démontrant la violence de la société médiévale. Peu avant l'époque moderne, en une période marquée par les guerres, les capitaines évoluent entre deux ères et se prêtent aux appropriations. Pourtant, ces officiers royaux apparaissent dans un contexte de développement législatif, politique et institutionnel intense dans le royaume de France, d'où émergent de nouvelles normes de conduite de la guerre et de comportement militaire. Ces normes n'opposent pas nécessairement les modèles médiévaux et modernes du guerrier. Elles associent les valeurs chevaleresques à celles de l'armée professionnelle pour construire une nouvelle identité du combattant, adoptée par les nobles et gardée par la justice royale. Ainsi, étudier l'essor des capitaines au bas Moyen Âge, c'est saisir au travers de la guerre et de la justice un aspect majeur de l'évolution de la noblesse et du pouvoir monarchique à la veille de la Modernité. --

Abstract

An exploration of the roles that pro- and anti-government militias, private armed groups, vigilantes, and gangs play in local communities in the new democracies of Southeast Asia. Scholars have typically characterized irregular forces as spoilers and infiltrators in post-conflict peacebuilding processes. The contributors to this book challenge this conventional understanding of irregular forces in Southeast Asia, demonstrating that they often attract solid support from civilians and can be major contributors to the building of local security - a process by which local residents, in the absence of an effective police force, develop, partner or are at least included in the management of community crimes and other violence. They analyze irregular forces' dealings with political actors at the community level, explaining why and how forces are incorporated in and collaborate with legitimate institutions without using violence against them. Offering a new approach to dealing with irregular forces in Southeast Asia, contributors explore new theoretical frameworks that are better suited for evaluating irregular forces' relationship to different security providers and the political environments in the region. Specifically, they examine case studies from Indonesia, Timor-Leste, the Philippines, and Thailand. A valuable resource for researchers, students and practitioners in the areas of conflict resolution, peacebuilding, and security governance, especially those with a focus on Southeast Asia. This book will also be of great interest to scholars of the sociology and anthropology of the region.

Abstract

"Un monde plus chaud sera aussi un monde plus violent. Alors qu'une hausse des températures d'à peine 1 °C depuis l'ère préindustrielle a déjà des conséquences préoccupantes pour la sécurtié nationale et internationale, il ne fait pas de doute que cette tendance va s'amplifier et nous faire entrer das une longue période de tensions. Les armées ne doivent pas seulement réduire leur empreinte carbone. Acteurs majeurs de la paix et de la sécurité, elles doivent aussi s'adapter à une situation qui affecte lourdement leurs missions et leurs capacités pour s'engager dans une véritable politique de sécurité climatique. Spécialistes des questions de défense et de climat, les auteurs du premier livre consacré à cet immense enjeu dressent un panorama des risques stratégiques et opérationnels associés au déréglement climatique. Ils anticipent les contours de la "guerre chaude" qui s'annonce en analysant les défis auxquels les forces armées seront confrontées et la façon dont elles pourront contribuer à le relever."--Page 4 of cover.

Abstract

Le 11 septembre 2001, le terrorisme transnational se rappelle avec brutalité au monde occidental. Phénomène ancien, il prend de l'ampleur aujourd'hui dans une mondialisation toujours plus avancée lorsque des combattants de diverses nationalités viennent grossir les rangs de ces organisations contestataires. Il oblige à se questionner sur ses sources culturelles et ses conséquences juridiques. Mais réduire les combattants étrangers aux combattants de Daesh ou d'Al Qaïda serait trompeur et éluderait toute une partie de nos outils de défense, à l'image de la Légion étrangère dans leur version contemporaine ou des mercenaires dans leur aspect plus historique.Cet ouvrage permet ainsi d'aborder, dans une approche géopolitique, les questions internationales et historiques soulevées par ces mouvements internationaux, tout en présentant les questions de droit interne, de droit européen et de droit international particulières aux "revenants" des différents théâtres contemporains.

Abstract

"The modern US Army as we know it was largely created in the years between the two world wars. After World War I, officers in leadership positions were increasingly convinced that building a new army could not take place as a series of random developments, but was an enterprise that had to be guided by a distinct military policy that enjoyed the support of the nation. William J. Woolley argues that the key to the modernization of the army in this period was the National Defense Act of 1920, which provided a blueprint for desired change and demonstrates that the transformation of the army was due to four elements: the creation of the civilian components of the new army (the Citizen's Military Training Camps (CMTC), the Officer Reserve Corps (ORC), the National Guard, and the Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC)); the development of the branches as the structural basis for organizing the army as well as creating the means to educate new officers and soldiers about their craft and to socialize them into an army culture; the creation of a rationalized and progressive system of professional military education; and the initial mechanization of the combat branches"--

Abstract

"The Women, Peace, and Security (WPS) Agenda is a global framework and policy tool that guides national actions addressing gender inequalities and the drivers of conflict and its impact on women and girls. By fostering structural and institutional change, the WPS agenda aims to 1) prevent conflict and all forms of violence against women and girls and 2) ensure the inclusion and participation of women in peace and security decision-making processes to incorporate their specific needs in relief and recovery situations. This volume gathers together student papers from the Joint Women, Peace, and Security Academic Forum's 2021 WPS in PME Writing Award program, a best-of selection of informative and empowering work that intersects with Department of Defense equities supporting global WPS principles. Student participants in the Joint WPS Academic Forum hail from prestigious DOD academic institutions, and this monograph shows how the strategic leaders of tomorrow embrace WPS today, offering a strong indication of how WPS principles will be implemented over time and how they will influence the paradigm of peace and security and our approaches to conflict prevention and resolution"--

Abstract

'Incidental Archaeologists' examines the archaeological contributions of 19th-century French military officers, who, raised on classical accounts of warfare and often trained as cartographers, developed an interest in the Roman remains they encountered when commissioned in the colony of Algeria. By linking the study of the Roman past to French triumphant narratives of the conquest and occupation of the Maghreb, the book demonstrates how Roman archaeology in the 40 years following the conquest of the Ottoman Regencies of Algiers and Constantine in the 1830s helped lay the groundwork for the creation of a new identity for French military and civilian settlers.

Abstract

Many of the most significant studies devoted to Ambrogio Spinola have focused on one particular aspect of his life: his successful military career. This volume, through its interdisciplinary and cultural approach, breaks open this all too narrow perspective and expands our understanding of Spinola and his world. As a great military strategist and Catholic knight, entrepreneur in the international finance market, courtier, and diplomat, Spinola was certainly a Genoese, but he was also a member of the transnational Iberian elite, to which he linked his fate and that of his children. His life's journey between Italy, Flanders, and Spain, and the reinterpretations of his life by his contemporaries in art, literature, and the press, give us the opportunity to reflect on the multiple identities and the physical and mental wanderings of many Europeans of the Early Modern Age. Ambrogio Spinola offers an example of humanity that is impossible to capture in a single reading and is much more contemporary than we can imagine.
