Civil and defence science and technology: China 2025 / Menon, Raja   Journal Article
Menon, Raja Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2010.
Summary/Abstract The rise of China is an accomplished fact. Many analysts are today trying to describe the various aspects of that rise. Military power is probably the foremost of the aspects that we in India will like to define. This article attempts to put together the facts behind what China is trying to build indigenously and through reverse engineering. The overarching facts of China's military rise are unabashedly described by the Chinese themselves. By 2030, they expect that they will be at the same level of GDP as the United States. The Chinese foresee a decline in the currency of nuclear weapons thereby improving the importance of their huge conventional forces that separate them from the rest of the world. How will they arm this conventional force? The Chinese are even keener than the Indians that they should arm their armed forces without outside dependence. An attempt is made here to describe how successful they can be.

Entangled security logics: from the decision-makers’ discourses to the decision-takers’ interpretations of civil defence / Wrange, Jana   Journal Article
Wrange, Jana Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract Entangled logics, which attribute meaning to security, characterise the contemporary security field, bringing about broad comprehensions and ambiguous concepts. Civil defence has (re)surfaced as one such concept that is broadly conceived in the official discourses produced by decision-makers. Since security is ultimately enacted by practitioners, alias decision-takers, their interpretations of concepts significantly shape policy actions. Therefore, this article moves from decision-makers’ discourses to decision-takers’ interpretations and explores the divergent understandings of the concept of civil defence in Sweden. Applying a discursive approach to data gathered through official documents and interviews with 21 national agency representatives, organised under five societal sectors, it finds that two main interpretations emerge, across and within sectors. These are conceptualised as “territorial civil defence” and “societal civil defence”, linked, respectively, to logics of “territorial security” and “societal security”. These differences, as is argued, potentially challenge agency collaboration and eventual policy coherence in terms of policy aims, governance and venues for cooperation. Hence, the study highlights the complex constraints that contemporary security discourses set in the policy sphere. It concludes that in order to effectively meet and capture the complexity of contemporary security, disentanglement of the field’s concepts, both in theory and in practice, is needed.

Home defence and the sandys defence white paper, 1957 / Grant, Matthew   Journal Article
Grant, Matthew Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2008.
Summary/Abstract Long understood as the key document in Britain's Cold War history, the Duncan Sandys Defence White Paper of 1957 nevertheless has a largely forgotten context: home defence. This article argues that understanding this context allows important new conclusions to be drawn concerning the drafting, presentation and the reception of the document and the deterrent strategy it expounded. It argues that the Paper failed to establish a new doctrine for civil defence which reconciled the policy with the wider deterrent strategy. In doing this, the Paper presented a muddled policy to the public: one which failed to justify the reductions in civil defence provision but which stressed the destructive power of thermonuclear weapons. This had the effect of encouraging the critics of the government's nuclear strategy to flag up the absence of adequate civil defence measures and highlight the 'admission' that there was no defence against the hydrogen bomb.

Modernising India's security sector for homeland security / Special Correspondence   Journal Article
Special Correspondence Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2014.
Summary/Abstract Post 9/1 t, homeland security got tast tracked in the US and it is generally believed that the mainland has not suffered any terrorist incident since then aside from the Boston bombings at 2013 and periodic 'lone wolt' attacks. Most countries have come to realise that homeland security has a much wider canvas than protection lrom acts of violence. Within India, the tabric at homeland security apparently comprises a host of dots that are yet to be fully connected; integration of the security sector, intelligence, surveillance, national net-centricity et al. Homeland security involves pro-active policies and implementation in terms at analysis, reorganisation, diplomacy, intelligence gathering, building and synergising the security sector, or whatever it takes to proactively detend the homeland. It goes for beyond civil detence.
