Securitizing Russia: Discursive Practices Of The Baltic States, Øyvind Jæger
Securitizing Russia: Discursive Practices Of The Baltic States, Øyvind Jæger
Peace and Conflict Studies
The author argues that the security situation of the Baltic countries cannot be separated from the way the Balts themselves speak of security. This is a discourse of danger producing insecurity in pursuit of security. Moreover, this article is a study of identity by demonstrating how Baltic security issues are constituted by discourses of danger revolving around Russian Otherness and European Sameness. 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
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 …
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.

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 …

Dispelling The Myth Between Humanitarian And Commercial Mine Action Activity, Ann Fitz-Gerald, Derrick Neal
The Journal of Conventional Weapons Destruction
Since the post World War years and even the more recent aftermath of the Cold War, the nature of peacekeeping, or peace-support operations, has changed dramatically. The change has involved the number and type of agencies concerned at each stage of an intervention and the numerous challenges they face in theatres. The responsibility is no longer left to and can no longer be fulfilled by a military force. A multitude of agencies takes on various tasks and becomes answerable to a number of different external and internal stakeholder interests.

The Journal of Conventional Weapons Destruction
Before heading out for a day's work, the deminers and EOD men gather every morning to drink coffee at a downtown Pristina bar called The Kukri. By 8 a.m. a festive crowd has gathered, and you could easily be in some college town cappuccino bar, except that half the people in the room are wearing U.N. shoulder patches and automatic pistols. On this particular autumn morning, the Texas Rangers are having coffee with the Fijians, the Bobbies are raking tea with some carabinieri, and the Zambians are talking shop with the OPP. It's sunny again, and everyone seems to be …
The Mine Action Process, James Trevelyan
The Mine Action Process, James Trevelyan
The Journal of Conventional Weapons Destruction
There are three ways to improve the mine action process to allow displaced people to return to their land sooner and with less risk of injury. Naturally, a major increase in aid funding would achieve a similar result using the existing process. Three main avenues to achieve improved outcomes with the same level of funding are as follows:
- Improving the technology, cost effectiveness and reliability of the mine clearance process,
- Applying risk management approaches to manage mine contamination problems, and
- Utilizing local resources and seeking alternative sources of funding more effectively.
