| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The extent to which the broadening security agenda should be operationalised by Western military forces is unclear. Prompted by events in Afghanistan during October 2001 and the trend towards regime change and reconstruction, this article uses the notion of civil society as a means to explore the implications of using developmental objectives to shape operations. It argues that civil society's limited utility is most evident when it is applied to urban conflict. Nevertheless, civil society is a significant indicator of trends that may yet shape strategic guidance. This raises questions about the nature and role of military force in the contemporary world, and, indeed, of the new security agenda itself. |
