The Status And Needs Of Small Businesses Owned And Controlled By Disabled Veterans, Paul R. Camacho
The Status And Needs Of Small Businesses Owned And Controlled By Disabled Veterans, Paul R. Camacho
William Joiner Institute for the Study of War and Social Consequences Publications
This introduction provides a thumbnail sketch, or landscape, of the history and conditions of veterans’ benefits against which to profile the issue of veterans’ small business opportunities.

This situation is no doubt a result of demographic facts. …

Burundi: A Critical Security Perspective, Eli Stamnes, Richard Wyn Jones
Burundi: A Critical Security Perspective, Eli Stamnes, Richard Wyn Jones
Peace and Conflict Studies
In the last few years Critical Security Studies (CSS) has emerged as a new approach to the academic study of security. This article argues that its genesis is best understood as a reaction to two developments, namely ‘real world’ changes after the end of the Cold War and the far-reaching philosophical debates that have recently been taking place within the social sciences. The authors argue for a conceptualisation of CSS based on an explicit commitment to human emancipation. They then illustrate their preferred understanding of security through a discussion of Burundi. This case study not only illustrates the theoretical claims …

In conclusion, the following aspects are addressed: the prospects for the coming together of East and West in the Baltic Sea Region – and NATO’s role in this process – and whether this process will come to ease …

From Liminars To Others: Securitization Through Myths, Karsten Friis
Peace and Conflict Studies
The article discusses the rise of societal and ethnic conflicts. It focuses on some of the analytical tools designed to illuminate these processes. More specifically it builds on the framework of the so-called "Copenhagen School of Security Studies" but seeks to develop a more flexible approach on the concept of identity. To understand how an identity gains strength, Roland Barthes’ theory of myths is examined and combined with Michel Foucault's concept of power. Finally a concept of agency is added, namely what has been labeled a “conflict entrepreneur”. It is argued that by combining these theoretical insights the process of …
