Summary/Abstract

This article suggests an agenda for juridical civil-military relations by considering how recent developments in human rights law in Europe breed new forms of juridical civil-military relations. The argument is that the human right driven recasting of legal authority over military affairs from military justice systems to civilian justice systems entwines these systems. Furthermore, that in so far the theories and studies of civil-military relations have not yet addressed the juridical dimension of civil-military relations as a subject of its own right, this entwining calls for a new subject in the study of civil-military relations, straddling the institutional entwining as well as the sociological dimension of practical cooperation.

Summary/Abstract

Counterinsurgency strategies employed by the US military in Afghanistan have led to the US military embarking on civil governance reform. This has created new forms of civil-military relations with Afghan and international counterparts. These relations appear less dramatic than 'conventional' civil-military relations, in that they do not create the same visible alignment on the ground between military and non-military identities. In addition, the increased merging of civil and military work areas creates a new complexity that stems from semantic confusion. This complexity is mostly about norms and principles, in that the core puzzle is the more general question of what kinds of tasks the military should and should not do, rather than about violent consequences to civilians and questions of neutrality. This article proposes the term 'third-generation civil-military relations' to capture and examine the conceptual challenges that stem from the merging of military and civil work areas in Afghanistan's reconstruction.
