Abstract

La présente publication rassemble les normes internationales et la jurisprudence applicables à l’objection de conscience au service militaire*. Elle ne vise ni à fixer ni à instituer des normes. Elle traite également de la mise en place d’un service de remplacement au service militaire par les États qui ont adopté une formule de ce genre. Comme des questions se sont souvent posées sur la façon dont les États traitent concrètement le problème de l’objection de conscience au service militaire et sur les programmes relatifs au service de remplacement, la présente publication fournit des exemples et met en lumière des pratiques exemplaires. Du fait que l’objection de conscience au service militaire peut, dans certaines circonstances, être reconnue comme ouvrant droit au statut de réfugié en vertu du droit international des réfugiés, un chapitre traite des normes en vigueur.

Abstract

This collection of sociological studies on the armed forces and conflict resolution deals with three types of developments the military is facing. First, the types of conflicts in which the military finds itself have become less predictable and more erratic, and hence, ways to respond are not easy to plan and organize. Apart from regular interstate warfare, the military nowadays is increasingly prepared to cope with irregular conflicts, such as terrorist threats and attacks, peacekeeping operations and indeed - warlike missions. Second, the economic conditions of many states are weakening. Citizens demand collective resources to be spent on care and cure, not conflict, therefore the way the military organizes and uses its resources to cope with the tasks they are set becomes increasingly important. Third, in most nations the conscript system has become history, and this creates new challenges in terms of recruiting volunteer soldiers. What becomes clear from the contributions to this volume is that the armed forces have to change their view of the world, the nature of conflicts and their profession greatly. Volume 19 of Contributions to Conflict Management, Peace Economic and Development presents the argument that the armed forces face a choice that will determine their position in society in times to come.

Abstract

The development of modern military conscription systems is usually seen as a response to countries' security needs, and as reflection of national political ideologies like civic republicanism or democratic egalitarianism. This study of conscription politics in France and the United States in the first half of the twentieth century challenges such common sense interpretations. Instead, it shows how despite institutional and ideological differences, both countries implemented conscription systems shaped by political and military leaders' concerns about how taking ordinary family men for military service would affect men's presumed positions as heads of families, especially as breadwinners and figures of paternal authority. The first of its kind, this carefully researched book combines an ambitious range of scholarly traditions and offers an original comparison of how protection of men's household authority affected one of the paradigmatic institutions of modern states.
