Parapsychology and Researching the UAP Experience
This paper is illustrating that the present-day regained interest in UFO/UAP is still driven by older materialist assumptions and a wishful quest to prove a putative extraterrestrial explanation for UAPs. It highlights that institutional biases from national security agencies interested in UAP have transited in many of the most common assumptions found in the study of UAP, and how problematic this is. It also situates epistemologically and ontolo…
Iran: Asymmetric Strategy and Mass Diplomacy
This paper presents an analysis of Iran’s information and mass diplomacy efforts in terms of its use of traditional written and audio-visual media, as well as through internet-based ones. Iran’s information efforts are both at the centre of its national strategy in dealing with its adversaries and its domestic policies to maintain and protect the regime. Furthermore, it is also well-aligned with the overall Iranian doctrine to take 360 degree app…
The Institutionalization of Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (Aqmi)
A number of observers have expressed serious concerns that Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQMI), as it expands in the Sahel, may become strong enough to be a threat to Europe and carry on the global mission of Al-Qaeda as conceived by bin Laden. This fear seems unwarranted. Using institutional analysis to study the AQMI behavioral fluctuations over the last decade, this article argues that AQMI's need to find a compromise between external and i…
Institutional analysis and irregular warfare: Israel Defense Forces during the 33-Day War of 2006
The new attention paid to 'small wars' does not seem to translate into a better adaptation of conventional armed forces to this type of conflicts. As illustrated by the IDF's inability to get a decisive edge against the Hezbollah during the 33-Day War, Israel is no exception to such difficulty to adapt. A number of analysts have concluded that, victim of its long experience gained through the Intifadas, Israel 'over-adapted' to irregular warfare.…
Institutional Analysis of Counterinsurgency: The Case of the IPKF in Sri Lanka (1987–1990)
It is well-known that non-conventional conflicts tend to present serious challenges to Western conventional armed forces. There are numerous examples from the recent past that can be invoked to sub
Institutional Analysis and Irregular Warfare: A Case Study of the French Army in Algeria 1954–1960
This article proposes a case study to illustrate the usefulness of sociological institutional analysis as a method to uncover ‘blue force’ challenges to deal with irregular warfare. The French Army's adaptation to revolutionary warfare in Algeria, starting in 1954, is used to illustrate both the application of the methodology and how institutional forces can hinder as well as overwhelm transformation for irregular warfare. The analysis emphasizes…
Multinational counterinsurgency: The Western intervention in the Boxer Rebellion 1900–1901
This article proposes a case study of the multinational counterinsurgency operations that occurred in China during the Boxer Rebellion in 1900–1, to provide a better understanding of the political and military dynamics specific to this type of mission. The study focuses primarily on the nature of the cooperation on the ground, the various national approaches to counterinsurgency, and the asymmetry of strategic approach between the Westerners and …
Sociology in the Canadian Military Academy Curriculum
Despite its content being perceived as highly relevant to Canadian Forces (CF) leader development and current and future role demands, sociology has not become permanently embedded in the Canadian military college (milcol) curriculum. We argue that among other factors, this has been the result of such influences as lack of interest and/or support from academic sociologists outside the military; hegemony of other disciplines within the military; r…
