Critical Reflections on Security and Change
The contributors reflect critically on security studies since the 1980s. They conclude that analysts and policy-makers have not been able to respond well to the changes that have occurred and that they must revise their approach if they are to meet the challenges of the future
Of Romans and Dragons: Preparing the US Marine Corps for Future Warfare
Reforming a large organization is always difficult. This article considers the attempts made by the United States Marine Corps to introduce change over the last few years. It centres on the influence of the Commandant of the Corps in the late 1990s, General Charles C. Krulak, and his attempts to engineer a force that would be both relevant and capable in the years beyond his tenure. He sought to meet the challenge posed by the rise of unconventio…
Warriors and Innovators: Military Change and Organizational Culture in the US Marine Corps
Over the past decade and half European and North American military organizations have been confronted with an ongoing the need to adjust to the post‐Cold War security environment. A problem militar
Innovate or die’: Organizational culture and the origins of maneuver warfare in the United States Marine Corps
The purpose of this article is twofold. First, this article contributes to the understanding of the origins of maneuver warfare as the capstone doctrine of the Marine Corps. It does so by identifying a second source that fostered change in the Marine Corps – one in addition to disquiet about the conduct of the war in Vietnam – which stemmed from the challenges posed by the United States' post-Vietnam strategic and military reorientation. And seco…
A Train Collision in the Making’? The proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and the transatlantic alliance
The governance of European security
This article seeks to develop a concept of ‘security governance’ in the context of post-Cold War Europe. The validity of a governance approach lies in its ability to locate some of the distinctive ways in which European security has been coordinated, managed and regulated. Based on an examination of the way governance is utilised in other political fields of political analysis, the article identifies the concept of security governance as involvin…
The Sources of Military Change: Culture, Politics, Technology
In varying circumstances, military organizations around the world are undergoing major restructuring. This book explores why, and how, militaries change. The authors focus on a complex of three influencing factors—cultural norms, politics, and new technology—offering a historical perspective of more than a century. Their analyses range from developing states to Russia, Britain, the U.S., and NATO. Throughout, they reveal the manifold interactions…

One in, all in?’ Nato's next enlargement
In 1999 NATO heads of state invited three states to join the alliance and are set to invite yet more states to join in November 2002 at the Prague summit. At present there are ten states that have declared their interest in gaining accession to NATO councils, and the prospect is that even more states will most likely be interested in joining in the years to come. The question for NATO is no longer whether to enlarge but how to manage enlargement.…
Apology
Nato's Triple Challenge
NATO's future is again the subject of speculation and debate despite its having fought a recent and apparently successful war in Kosovo. This article proposes that there are three aspects to this challenge. First, NATO is facing a series of dilemmas in its relations with non-members: how should it manage relations with Russia, and with the applicants for membership? The authors argue that NATO should seek to develop a consolidationist posture. Th…

The United Nations, conflict management and spheres of interest
The initial promise of the UN being able to manage conflicts with the ending of the Cold War has faded. Historically, the ability of the UN to act has been strongly influenced by the interests of its member states, especially the major powers, and a number of factors, such as threat, type of response, limitations on UN action, and degeneration of a situation, have affected the ability of the UN to respond and respond successfully. These and other…
