Publication 2012.
Summary/Abstract The moves leading to the military involvement of the Arab states in the Palestine war in May 1948 deserve an examination in the context of the socio-political conditions that prevailed in the Arab states, The invasion of Palestine by Arab armies marked the intersection of two lines of conflict. One was the conflict between the Arab states and the ruling dynasties. The other was the socio-political conflict between the ruling conservative elites opposed to the deep socio-economic and political reforms needed by the modern middle strata, the effendiyya. The purpose of this article is to examine the domestic socio-political struggles, the compelling nationalist discourse in the Arab states and the interaction of that discourse with the regional inter-Arab relations that led the Arab states to war against Israel in May 1948.

EU's military involvement in the democratic republic of Congo: security culture, interests and games / Schmidt, Peter   Journal Article
Schmidt, Peter Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2011.
Summary/Abstract The following exploratory case study analyses European Union's military involvement in the Democratic Republic of Congo in the framework of two operations: Artemis (2003) and EUFOR (2006). The European Union in this context is not regarded as a 'single actor' but as part of a system, including the member states and the United Nations. In order to bridge the gap between strategic culture and behaviour, it is proposed to broaden the scope of the strategic culture approach by taking specific interests and 'games' played by the actors across these levels into consideration. The analysis also suggests that two background features of the multi-level 'game' as part of the European Union's strategic culture should be especially recognized: the 'barrack yard syndrome' as a principle of behaviour influencing the question who of participates in the operation, and 'multilateral Caesarism' as a feature of the 'multilevel game' which limits parliamentarian control of decisions and may also have a major impact on decisions to launch a military operation in the framework of the EU.

Military experience, identity discrepancies, and far right terr: an exploratory analysis / Simi, Pete; Bubolz, Bryan F; Hardman, Ann   Journal Article
Simi, Pete Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2013.
Summary/Abstract The relationship between far right extremism and military involvement is a complex problem and the dynamics that explain this relationship are not well understood. The present article addresses this gap by discussing the relationship between military experience, identity discrepancies, and far right terrorism. This article proposes that identity discrepancies occur when individuals experience involuntary role exits from the military or when individuals perceive that personal achievements earned while enlisted are unrecognized or unappreciated. Identity discrepancies may facilitate a change in behavior toward far right extremism and eventually terrorism. Case study examples are provided to illustrate this relationship.
