Eberly and Reuven Gal With a guest chapter by Michael Sherraden Copyright c 2006 by Donald J. Eberly and Reuven Gal Grateful acknowledgement is made to the following for permission to re- print previously published material: Voluntary Action: The Journal of the Institute for Volunteering Research, London, Volume 5, No. 2, Spring 2003. “National Youth Service as an In- strument of Peace and Reconciliation,” by Donald J. Eberly The Responsive Community. Summer, 2004. “From Military Officer Cadets to NYS Volunteer Cadets: The Transformation from Military to Civic Service,” by Donald J. Eberly and Reuven Gal ISBN viii Service Without Guns PREFACE In December 2000, Reuven Gal sent Donald Eberly an e-mail inviting him to present a paper at the forthcoming conference of the Inter-University Seminar on Armed Forces and Society. The paper was to deal with linkages between military service and National Youth Service in the 20th Century. Eberly replied to say that he could not attend but suggested that it was a very important topic and we should write a book about it. That is how this book was born. Interwoven as our respective backgrounds are with civilian service and military service and with research and work in a number of countries worldwide, the decision to proceed with this book is perhaps not surprising. As an undergraduate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the late 1940s, Donald Eberly was active in a student-led project that brought several hundred young men and women to MIT from countries that had been devastated by World War II and from developing countries for a summer of study and research. Today, Eberly and his colleagues would be called volunteers in a service-learning program. He served in the US Army as a draftee from 1951 to 1953 and later that year he went to teach physics and mathematics at Molusi College, Ijebu-Igbo, Nigeria. He left in 1956 and a few years later a Peace Corps Volunteer would occupy that position. Eberly first circulated his proposal for National Youth Service (NYS), called “A National Service for Peace” in 1957. That led to the remainder of his career being devoted to NYS. Over the years, he has convened several conferences on NYS, testified before the US Congress and Canadian parliament on NYS, developed a plan for NYS at the request of a Presiden- tial Commission in the US, conducted a number of research studies, managed a NYS test project, written numerous articles about NYS, and visited NYS projects in North and South America, Central America and the Caribbean, Africa and Europe, the Middle East and Far East, and Australasia and the Pacific Islands. Eberly was the founder and Director of the National Service Secretariat in the USA from 1966-1994 and became the Honorary President of the International Association for National Youth Service in 1998. He is the author of National Service: A Promise to Keep, 1988; the editor of A Profile of National Service, 1966; and the co-editor with Michael W. Sherraden of National Service: Social, Economic and Military Impacts, 1982, and of The Moral Equivalent of War: A Study of Non-Military Service in Nine Nations, 1990. Eberly moved to New Zealand in 1994. As a boy, Reuven Gal was an active member and a "Madrich" (group-leader) in the Israeli Scouts Movement. He served in the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) as a combat infan- try officer from 1960-1963 and commanded a reserve recon- naissance unit during the battles in Jerusalem in the Six-Days War. After completing his academic studies in psychology and sociology with a B.A, and M.A. from the Hebrew Univer- sity in Jerusalem and a Ph.D. from the University of Califor- nia, Berkeley, Reuven served as IDF's Chief Psychologist from 1976-1982 and retired from the IDF with the rank of Colonel. In 1985 Gal founded and subsequently headed the Carmel Institute for Social Studies, a non-profit research and policy-making center, which studies and promotes social and psychological projects, both in Israel and internationally. Among these projects is the Helping-the-Helpers program, de- signed to help mental-health professionals in the former- Yugoslav countries throughout their civil wars from 1992- 2001. Similarly, he engaged in conflict-resolution and recon- ciliation issues in Northern Ireland, as well as in Jewish–Arab co-existence programs. In 1991 Gal, together with two col- leagues, founded the Center for Outstanding Leadership in Zichron Ya’akov. In August 2002 he became the Deputy Na- x Service Without Guns tional Security Advisor for Domestic Policy at the Israeli Na- tional Security Council, where he was in charge of promoting Sherut Leumi (NYS), a universal youth service. Gal has attended numerous conferences on NYS and, as Deputy President of the International Association for National Youth Service, hosted its 2000 conference in Jerusalem. Be- sides his academic and research work (among his books are: A Portrait of the Israeli Soldier, 1986; Legitimacy and Com- mitment in the Military, 1990; The Seventh War, 1990, and Handbook of Military Psychology, 1991 ), Gal also serves as a senior consultant to Israel's National Memorial Museum and is a member of numerous other public and academic organiza- tions. Our experiences and studies and observations have led us to the conclusion that young people everywhere in the world would much rather cooperate with other young people in constructive activities than engage them in combat, and that the societies from which they come would much rather have the service of young people directed toward meeting basic human needs than toward domination of other societies by force of arms. We hope this book will contribute to many more young people having such constructive service opportunities. * * * * * This book was written from 2001 to 2005. Nearly all of the information resources come from the 20th Century. We generally refer to programs in the present tense if they were still in existence at the time of the writing and in the past tense if they were not. With young people in NYS variously known as Vol- unteers, Corpers, Zivis, and (on rare occasions) Conscientious Objectors, we wanted a generic term that had more life to it than the usual “participants.” We have taken the liberty of re- ferring to young men and women in NYS as “cadets,” carrying with it a connotation of youthfulness as well as work com- bined with learning. In New Zealand, a cadet is a young man who lives and works on a sheep station, learning the trade. In Israel, cadets are young trainees in leadership programs. NYS cadets are, indeed, young, committed and eager to learn. We thank the thousands of NYS cadets we have met for the work they have done and for the insights into NYS that we have gained from them. We thank our fellow members of the International Association for National Youth Service for a substantial amount of information in this book and for the per- spectives on NYS that they have shared with us. We salute persons we have known for the pioneering work they have done in developing and advancing NYS; persons such as Tai Solarin of Nigeria and Peter Kpordugbe of Ghana, Alec Dick- son and Elisabeth Hoodless of the UK, Koesnadi Hardjasoe- mantri of Indonesia, Ali Raza Khan of Pakistan, Maria Nieves Tapia of Argentina, Jacques Hebert of Canada, Nicole Flei- scher of Israel, and Eleanor Roosevelt, Hubert Humphrey, Morris Janowitz, Margaret Mead, Harris Wofford, Willard Wirtz, Charles Moskos, James Kielsmeier and Susan Stroud of the United States. Special thanks go to Michael Sherraden, Benjamin E. Youngdahl Professor of Social Development and Director, Center for Social Development, Washington University in St. Louis. In addition to his authorship of Chapter 8, we are also grateful for his wise counsel over the years and his initiatives in advancing NYS. Finally, we wish to thank Sheila Allison of Australia’s University of Tasmania for offering to set up a web site and her colleague Anne Hugo for creating the web site (http://www.acys.utas.edu.au/ianys/) of the International As- sociation for NYS in 1996, and for maintaining it since then; Nik Hollander and Sarah Hollander of New Zealand for in- valuable computer advice and assistance; and Henning Soren- son of Denmark for suggesting the title, Service without Guns. xii Service Without Guns CONTENTS Introduction 1 Part I: Inter-relationship of Military Service and Civic Service 9 1 Military Service at the Beginning of the 21st Century 10 2 Linkages between Civic and Military Service in the 20th Century 16 Part II: What is National Youth Service all about? 31 3 Trends Toward National Youth Service 32 4 Best Practices of National Youth Service 50 5 The Special Case of Service-Learning 75 6 National Youth Service as a Psycho-Social Process 87 Part III: The Impact of National Youth Service 100 7 The Service Impact of National Youth Service 101 8 National Youth Service as Strong Policy 108 Part IV: Future of National Youth Service 146 9 A Potential Role for National Youth Service in Community Reconstruction and Intercultural Understanding 147 10 Practical Steps to Advance National Youth Service 161 11 Conclusion 174 References 179 Index 193 Introduction 1 INTRODUCTION We have written this book because we believe the world will be a better place if civilian service by young people becomes as widespread and important in the 21st Century as military service was in the 20th Century.

    The London School of Economics and Political Science Mercenaries and the State: How the hybridisation of the armed forces is changing the face of national security Caroline Varin A thesis submitted to the Department of International Relations of the London School of Economics for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, London, September 2012 ii Declaration I certify that the thesis I have presented for examination for the MPhil/PhD degree of the London School of Economics and Political Science is solely my own work other than where I have clearly indicated that it is the work of others (in which case the extent of any work carried out jointly by me and any other person is clearly identified in it). The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without my prior written consent. I warrant that this authorisation does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. I declare that my thesis consists of <83,157> words. iii Abstract The military has been a symbol of nationhood and state control for the past two hundred years. As representatives of a society’s cultural values and political ambitions, the armed forces have traditionally been held within the confines of the modern state. Today, however, soldiers are expected to operate in the shadows of conflicts, drawing little attention to themselves and to their actions; they are physically and emotionally secluded from a civilian population whose governments, especially in the ‘West’, are proceeding to an unprecedented wave of demilitarisation and military budget cuts.

  • Legislation Factsheet: Conscientious Objection
    UNITED STATES COMMISSION on INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM FACTSHEET August 2020 CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTION Gayle Manchin By Kirsten Lavery, Supervisory Policy Analyst Chair Tony Perkins Vice Chair Overview Anurima Bhargava Conscientious objection to military service is frequently connected to freedom of Vice Chair religion or belief, as many conscientious objectors are motivated by deeply-held religious beliefs. To protect the rights of these individuals, some states maintain laws Commissioners that exempt them from compulsory military service. Often, objectors are required to Gary Bauer participate in an alternative national service. James W. Carr Although the right to conscientious objection is recognized under international human Frederick A. Davie rights law, a number of governments do not have provisions for conscientious objection to military service. When this right is not recognized in states with mandatory military Nadine Maenza service, conscientious objectors may face prison time for their beliefs. Johnnie Moore Nury Turkel Eritrea – No right to conscientious objection: Despite the signing of historic peace agreement with Ethiopia in 2018, the law in Eritrea still requires all citizens Erin D. Singshinsuk to perform national service between the ages of 14 and 50 with limited exceptions. Executive Director The requirement includes 18 months of military service and training for those deemed fit. In practice, service often extends beyond 18 months. Thelaw does not provide for conscientious objection status for religious reasons, and there are no alternatives for objectors who are willing to perform alternative civilian USCIRF’s Mission service. Hundreds of Eritreans are believed to remain religious prisoners of conscience, including Jehovah’s Witnesses imprisoned for exercising their beliefs and conscientiously objecting to military service.

  • The All-Volunteer Force: a Historical Perspective Janice H. Laurence
    The All-Volunteer Force: A Historical Perspective Janice H. Laurence Prologue It's been almost thirty years since the draft played a role in procuring manpower for the military. On Defense Secretary Melvin Laird's watch, in December of 1972, the last draft call was made. And on June 30, 1973, the last draftee—Dwight Elliott Stone—entered the military as legal authority to conscript young men like him expired. The operation of the Selective Service System and the local draft boards that supplied the Army (and sometimes the Marine Corps) with residual manpower when the supply of volunteers was exhausted was put on deep standby. Instead young men (and women in increasing numbers) signed up for the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force of their own volition. Conscription had been used for over 30 years to supplement the active duty enlisted ranks and press yet others to "volunteer" (some reluctantly) not only for Army and Marine Corps enlisted positions but for the Navy and Air Force enlisted ranks, the officer corps, or Selected Reserve duty. For many, the act of volunteering was a wager to avoid the riskiest of duty as a combat soldier or marine. The draft is not a basic building block for garnering personnel for the U.S. military—our Colonial ancestors did not warm to the idea of forced federal service. Conscription has always been controversial, even when it was used for the Civil War, World War I, and World War II. And since it "has existed for only 33 of the approximately 200 years since the Declaration of Independence, it is difficult to consider the draft an American tradition."1 However, since World War II, when our nation emerged as a superpower with global responsibilities, the draft was seen as a necessity not only in time of war, but also to empower a large standing force in peacetime.
