Social Science Goes to War : The Human Terrain System in Iraq and Afghanistan
ISBN: 9781849044219 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The Human Terrain System (HTS) was catapulted into existence in 2006 by the US military's urgent need for knowledge of the human dimension of the battlespace in Iraq and Afghanistan. Its centrepiece was embedded groups of mixed military and civilian personnel, known as Human Terrain Teams (HTTs), whose mission was to conduct social science research and analysis and to advise military commanders about the local population. Bringing social science - and actual social scientists - to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan was bold and challenging. Despite the controversy over HTS among scholars, there...

Military Anthropology: Soldiers, Scholars and Subjects at the Margins of Empire
ISBN: 9780190680176 / Angielski / Twarda / 2018 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In almost every military intervention in its history, the US has made cultural mistakes that hindered attainment of its policy goals. From the strategic bombing of Vietnam to the accidental burning of the Koran in Afghanistan, it has blundered around with little consideration of local cultural beliefs and for the long-term effects on the host nation's society. Cultural anthropology--the so-called "handmaiden of colonialism"--has historically served as an intellectual bridge between Western powers and local nationals. What light can it shed on the intersection of the US military and foreign...

Pax Britannica: British Counterinsurgency in Northern Ireland, 1969-1982
ISBN: 9780990574316 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 552 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. British forces conducted operations short of war in Northern Ireland for twenty-five years, yet they were unable to defeat the Provisional Irish Republican Army (PIRA). In this heretofore unpublished dissertation from 1994, McFate identifies how certain cultural, legal, and political factors contributed to the longevity of violence in Northern Ireland. Viewing counterinsurgency as a self-reproducing cultural system with its own complex logic, McFate argues that limitations on violence prescribed by the counterinsurgency principle of minimum force paradoxically resulted in a very high degree...
