Understanding Influence

The Use of Statebuilding Research in British Policy

By: Professor Sultan Barakat,Dr Thomas Waldman,Mr Andrea Varisco

Despite the increasing volume of research on state building, the use and uptake of findings by those involved in policy-making remains largely under-examined. As such, the main themes running through this book relate to issues of research influence, use and uptake into policy. It grapples with problems associated with decision-making dynamics, knowledge management and the policy process and draws on concepts and analytical models developed within the public policy and research utilization literature, from linear models of instrumental use to the enlightenment function of research.

War, Clausewitz and the Trinity

By: Dr Thomas Waldman

Today, the ideas of Carl von Clausewitz (1780-1831) are employed almost ubiquitously in strategic studies, military history and defence literatures, but often in a manner which distorts their true meaning. In this book, Waldman explores Clausewitz’s central theoretical device for understanding war - the ‘remarkable trinity’ of politics, chance and passion. By situating the great Prussian in historical context, he presents a conception truer to Clausewitz’s intention. Seeking to achieve this through an in-depth reinterpretation of On War and Clausewitz’s other writings, conducted through the prism of the trinity, this book draws on existing studies but argues that there is room for clarification. It presents fresh perspectives into aspects of Clausewitz's thought and emphasises elements of his theory that have often been neglected. Furthermore, it provides a solid basis from which debate on the nature of modern war can move forward.

Leadership Challenges in the Current Security Environment

By: Dr. Murat Şengöz

The current security environment is characterized by an increase in the number of military conflicts and other human-induced problems that threaten the human life and co-existence. These challenges force the armies, whose first duty is the establishment of security, to focus more on military leadership in order to realize and adopt their duties. The quality of military leadership is critical to the establishment of today's both security and peace environment. This book is written for students of the faculties of economic and administrative sciences, political sciences, and anyone who feels relevant to national security administration. The book provides a detailed understanding of current security environment and the challenges of military leadership. Unlike other books on national security administration that does not focus on wider areas affecting the perception and execution of military leadership, this book will provide readers with a wealth of information about the armys' main structure and the current security environment and the leadership challenges. The book is based on both theories and practices.
