The Armed Forces: Towards a Post-Interventionist Era?
The present anthology stems from the perception of a widespread and manifest uneasiness concerning the business of military intervention in our times. Indeed, the West is for quite some time engaged in a deep introspection about his military intervention policies in the years to come and reflects about this. What will Western military intervention policies look like in the future; what kind of military intervention policies is wanted and what kind of military intervention policies is financially, politically and socio-culturally possible and militarily feasible? The hypothesis pursued in this volume states that, in the foreseeable future, we may see a different kind of military intervention policy and intervention posture of the West that will lead to different military interventions. It may be argued that we are witnessing the dawn of a new era, the era of military post-interventionism.
Women in the Military and in Armed Conflict
The debate about the role of women in war, violent conflict and the military is not only a long and ongoing one; it is also a heated and controversial one. The contributions to this anthology come from experts in the field who approach the topic from various angles thus offering different and, at times, diverging perspectives. The reader will therefore gain in-depth insight into the most important aspects and positions in the debate.
Germany Says "No"
According to Dieter Dettke, Germany’s refusal to participate in the Iraq war signaled a resumption of the country's willingness to assert itself in global affairs, even in the face of contradictory U.S. desires. Germany Says "No" reviews the country’s actions in major international crises from the first Gulf War to the war with Iraq, concluding—in contrast to many models of contemporary German foreign policy—that the country's civilian power paradigm has been succeeded by a defensive structural realist approach. Dettke traces the implications of this change for Germany’s participation in multilateral institutions as well as bilateral relations with the U.S., France, Russia, China, and India.

The Two Germanies and Military Security in Europe
This original study based on documents, hitherto not discussed in literature of the Cold War, adds a significant new perspective to an important episode in Cold War History. The subject of this book is the policy of the two Germanies towards the talks on Mutual and Balanced Force Reductions (MBFR) in Europe during the 1970s. Negotiations on MBFR continued for a long time without progress. There has been much speculatuion about the motivations of the Eastern side. This book makes use of newly declassified files and, for the first time, reveals the true purposes and intentions of the Warsaw Pact in those negotiations.
Mehr Sicherheit für Deutschland
Der russische Angriffskrieg gegen die Ukraine hat für die deutsche Außen- und Sicherheitspolitik weitreichende Konsequenzen. Das Buch setzt sich mit der Frage auseinander, welche Rolle eine Politik der Abrüstung, Rüstungskontrolle und der Nichtverbreitung von Massenvernichtungswaffen vor dem Hintergrund der Zeitenwende spielen kann, um Stabilität, Sicherheit und Frieden zu stärken. Fundiert und kenntnisreich erläutert der Sicherheitsexperte Dr. Ernst-Christoph Meier die komplexen Anforderungen für die Rüstungskontrolle der Zukunft. Das auch für Laien verständliche Buch ist ein Plädoyer für eine realistische Rüstungskontrollpolitik, die sich als notwendige Ergänzung einer gestärkten Politik der Verteidigung und Abschreckung der NATO versteht. Zugleich leistet es einen wichtigen Beitrag zur gesellschaftlichen Debatte über die künftige deutsche Außen- und Sicherheitspolitik.
