  • Protecting civilians in a data-driven and digitalized battlespace: Toward a baseline humanitarian technology infrastructure

    Open AccessAnn Fitzgerald, Jenna HennebryARTICLEFrontiers in Human Dynamics2025References: 5

    This article examines the realities of modern day warfare, including a rising trend in hybrid threats and irregular warfare which employ emerging technologies supported by digital and data-driven processes. The way in which these technologies become applied generates a widened battlefield and leads to a greater number of civilians being caught up in conflict. Humanitarian groups mandated to protect civilians have adapted their approaches to the u…

  • Power versus Leadership

    Open AccessAnn Fitzgerald, Ann Fitz‐Gerald et al.ARTICLEGlobal Policy2020

    European power in the 21st century is not what it was in the 20th century. The rules‐based liberal international order that Europe helped to construct after the Second World War is under threat, and arguably in decline. As this ‘order’ diminishes, so too does Europe’s ability to influence world events. While Europe will never command either the military or economic hard and ‘sharp’ power of the United States or China, it remains an important inte…

  • Towards a common doctrine for African Standby Force-led peace operations

    Ann Fitz-Gerald, Ann FitzgeraldARTICLEInternational Peacekeeping2017References: 2

    This article considers the military doctrine currently available to the African Standby Force (ASF) for peace operations (PO) on the African continent. In the absence of an updated and relevant doctrine for PO, risks are posed to the harmonization and coordination of multinational missions, as well as to the successful achievement of mission objectives. Despite laudable efforts by both the United Nations (UN) and bilateral donor nations to suppor…

  • Multiplying a force for good? The impact of security sector management postgraduate education in Ethiopia

    Paula-Louise Macphee, Ann FitzgeraldARTICLEJournal of Peace Education2014Cited by: 1References: 7

    This paper argues for the importance, benefits and wider impact of a donor-funded, locally supported postgraduate programme in security sector management (SSM) for government officials in Ethiopia. With the exception of specialised education and training programmes within the field of peace and conflict studies, the role of education in conflict-affected and developing countries has been examined predominantly in the context of primary education.…

  • Mind the gap: The Importance of Local Institutional Development in Peace-Building-Funded Security Interventions

    Sari Graben, Ann Fitz-Gerald et al.ARTICLEConflict Security and Development2013References: 13

    In this paper, the authors analyse current spending priorities of the Peacebuilding Fund (PBF)-funded security sector reform (SSR) programmes. They conclude that these spending priorities do not appear to support traditional components of SSR and underfund programmes needed for the development of local public administration and civil society. This is observed despite the published commitments of UN PBF funding priorities to include the strengthen…

  • Understanding local dynamics in civil wars

    Ann Fitzgerald, Ann Fitz‐GeraldARTICLECivil Wars2000

    Multinational military troops are increasingly deployed to internal wars characterised by multiethnic violence, paramilitary regimes and autocratic state leadership. Their closeness to the local populations presents interesting implications for contemporary peacekeeping training programmes. In most cases, the paramilitaries and warlords garner local support by convincing indigenous populations that their allegiance will be rewarded with the provi…
