The Munich Security Conference, founded as "Wehrkundetagung" in 1963, has evolved into the leading independent forum for security policy. Traditionally seen as a kind of transatlantic family meeting for debating NATO strategy during the Cold War, the conference has increasingly broadened its agenda and today attracts participants from across the globe. Each year, dozens of heads of state and government, ministers, and experts from different fields of security policy gather in Munich for an open exchange of ideas and policies on the most pressing international security issues – ranging from regional conflicts, international peace operations and nuclear disarmament to cyber security and environmental challenges. On the occasion of the conference's 50th anniversary in 2014, a number of prominent participants, including former and current foreign and defense ministers, reflect on the conference's history and significance, some of the major issues debated, and on key security challenges facing the international community.
Deutschland braucht eine neue außenpolitische Kultur! Hierfür plädierte eine junge Gruppe aus dem "Tönissteiner Kreis" 2010 in der Frühjahrsausgabe von WeltTrends und forderte eine klare Formulierung deutscher Interessen. Die angestoßene Debatte stieß auf große Resonanz und wurde von jungen Akademikern aufgenommen, die sich nicht scheuten, eigene Anregungen für die deutsche Außenpolitik zu formulieren und zentrale Thesen des Plädoyers in Frage zu stellen: Worin bestand das Neue, worin das Deutsche an der Forderung nach einer Interessendefinition? Das Papier gibt die lebhafte Debatte des außenpolitischen Nachwuchses wieder, die 2010 innerhalb wie außerhalb der Zeitschrift geführt wurde.
This edited volume explores how artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming international conflict in cyberspace. Over the past three decades, cyberspace developed into a crucial frontier and issue of international conflict. However, scholarly work on the relationship between AI and conflict in cyberspace has been produced along somewhat rigid disciplinary boundaries and an even more rigid sociotechnical divide – wherein technical and social scholarship are seldomly brought into a conversation. This is the first volume to address these themes through a comprehensive and cross-disciplinary approach. With the intent of exploring the question ‘what is at stake with the use of automation in...
The attacks in Paris in January and November 2015 heralded the beginning of a new wave of terrorism - one rooted in the ongoing conflict in Syria and Iraq. As ISIS seeks to expand its reach in the Middle East, its territory serves as a base for training and operations for a new generation of jihadis. Thousands of young people from the West, primarily from Europe, have travelled to join ISIS, re-emerging as hardened fighters with military training and a network of international contacts. Many of these have now returned to their homelands, where it is feared they are planning a new series of brutal attacks. Peter R. Neumann here explains the phenomenon of the 'new jihadis', and shows why the threat of terrorism in the West is greater than ever before. Based on interviews and previously-unseen material, Neumann provides an essential introduction to one of the greatest crises of our time
A vision of a European future of peace and stability despite the present gloom The world appears to be at another major turning point. Tensions between the United States and China threaten a resumption of great power conflict. Global institutions are being tested as never before, and hard-edged nationalism has resurfaced as a major force in both democracies and authoritarian states. From the European perspective, the United States appears to be abdicating its global leadership role. Meanwhile, Moscow and Beijing eagerly exploit every opportunity to pit European partners against one another. But a pivot point also offers the continent an opportunity to grow stronger. In World in Danger, Wolfg...
《論混合戰之概念與實踐:戰略的視角》討論的議題,無論就學術或實務而言,均是最重要與迫切需要的研究領域。過去,臺灣雖有一些小篇論文的出版,但要集結成書如《論混合戰之概念與實踐:戰略的視角》,讓讀者可深入了解混合戰的相關理論與實踐,是一項新穎的學術貢獻。歐洲國家受到俄羅斯威脅而偏好使用「混合戰」,在美國較為慣用的名詞是「灰色地帶衝突」,兩者均強調軍事與非軍事手段的結合,首要之務均是以不要跨越戰爭門檻,避免直接進行戰爭行為,達到屈服敵人抵抗的目標。本書值得推薦給對相關...
Nicicând după încheierea Războiului Rece nu a fost situația mondială mai tensionată decât în prezent. Nu doar amenințarea atomică planează asupra lumii contemporane, ci și problemele de securitate cibernetică, terorismul și, nu în ultimul rând, schimbările climatice, pe care nimeni nu le mai poate ignora. Mai mult, spune Wolfgang Ischinger, deși ar trebui să fim mereu pregătiți pentru surprize, ne este din ce în ce mai greu să ne menținem în gardă. Față în față cu această situație, statele reacționează paradoxal: în loc să conlucreze, se adâncesc în politica internă și refuză dialogul. Dar soluții există întotdeauna. Wolfgang Ischinger este un om...

Der Band fasst die innovativen Ergebnisse des Sonderforschungsbereichs 'Kriegserfahrungen - Krieg und Gesellschaft in der Neuzeit' (SFB 437) an der Universität Tübingen in einem großen Überblick zusammen. Themen des SFB und des Buches sind die Erfahrung, Wahrnehmung und Deutung von Kriegen der Neuzeit in Europa und Nordamerika, ist der 'Krieg in den Köpfen' vom Dreißigjährigen Krieg bis zum Krieg in Vietnam. Drei Felder stehen im Zentrum: der Zusammenhang von Nation, Nationsbildung und Krieg, die Interaktion zwischen Religion bzw. Konfession und Krieg sowie die Rolle der Medien und der Nachrichtenproduktion, die den 'Krieg in der Ferne' zum 'Krieg in der Nähe' schrumpfen ließ.
