It was supported by a grant from the Volkswagen Stiftung of the Federal Republic of Germany. The introductory chapter by the editors presents a scenario for a possible future European security system. Six essays by active NATO and WTO military officers focus on the role of military forces in such a system. Various approaches to the tasks and size of military forces in this regime of strict non-provocative defence are presented with the intent of providing new ideas for the debate on restructuring of forces in Europe. There are 3 maps, 7 tables and 11 figures. Sponsored by the Volkswagen Stiftung. Contents Preface vi Acknowledgements viii The role of military forces within a European security system 1 G.

The Open Debate in Stans is open to the general public. We are looking forward to a diverse, interactive and creative discussion with people from various backgrounds and with high-level panelists. You can also participate with our Livestream. The gender dimensions of social conflict, armed violence and peacebuilding are multifaceted and complex. Twenty years after the path‐breaking UN Security Council Resolution 1325, gender has been mainstreamed into most peacebuilding activities but adequate implementation on the ground is hampered by the current lack of evidence‐ based promising practices. The r4d research project "Gender Dimensions of Social Conflicts" tries to overcome this lack and assembled gender, security and conflict researchers from Indonesia, Nigeria, Switzerland and the United Kingdom (UK).

  • Defence White Paper of the Republic of Slovenia
    DEFENCE WHITE PAPER OF THE REPUBLIC OF SLOVENIA 2020 Dear Readers, Both in everyday life, and in the operation and development of a country, we occasio- nally need to stop and strategically assess our efforts to see whether they are leading towards the desired objective. The result of our strategic reflection is the Defence White Paper of the Republic of Slovenia, which represents a high level of consistency of views within the defence sector on the future security environment, and on the necessary measures to enhance the country's defence capacity, taking into account real human, economic and other capabilities. The purpose of the Defence White Paper is to define a gradual long-term development of the Republic of Slovenia’s defence system in order to ensure the necessary levels of capacity and preparedness for the implementation of national defence, and the fulfilment of the adopted international obligations. I believe that, through diligent work and analysis, we have acquired a good basis for directing the further development of the defence system, which will be able to function effectively and in accordance with its mission. This document provides guidance for the change, reform and strengthening of both military and non-military defence mechanisms to meet the contemporary security challenges. It provides the starting point for the preparation of planning documents which will specify the key defence objectives by 2035, and the way they are implemented. The security of the country and its citizens is not self-evident and should not be taken for granted. It is a benefit and a value that is directly related to the existence of a nation, a government, a democratic system, the sovereignty of a state, the protection of one's identity, the exercise of human rights, and other interests of nations and states.
