Foresighting Needs For Secure Societies “2035” – The Focus Roadmap And Its Implications For The Science And Practice Of Politics In Civil Security, Alexander Siedschlag, Andrea Jerković 2014 Pennsylvania State University - Harrisburg

Foresighting Needs For Secure Societies “2035” – The Focus Roadmap And Its Implications For The Science And Practice Of Politics In Civil Security, Alexander Siedschlag, Andrea Jerković

Publications

There is more than the societal dimension of security: the societal creation of security. There are no effective technological solutions without acceptance and public participation. Security Research should consider significant social, cultural, ethical, legal, and political aspects of security from the very beginning, that is, not only in the implementation perspective and in terms of public acceptance and ascribed legitimacy. Civil security is thus becoming an own sub-field of public policy analysis, addressing societal security from a governance perspective. While “security governance” as such is not a new concept, it so far has mainly been applied to international security and …


Visual Propaganda And Extremism In The Online Environment, Cori E. Dauber, Carol K. Winkler 2014 US Army War College

Visual Propaganda And Extremism In The Online Environment, Cori E. Dauber, Carol K. Winkler

Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies

Visual images have been a central component of propaganda for as long as propaganda has been produced. But recent developments in communication and information technologies have given terrorist and extremist groups options and abilities they never would have been able to come close to even 5 or 10 years ago. There are terrorist groups who, with very little initial investment, are making videos that are coming so close to the quality of BBC or CNN broadcasts that the difference is meaningless, and with access to the web they have instantaneous access to a global audience. Given the broad social science …

Methods To Integrate Considerations On Culture, Ethics And Citizen Acceptance Into Urban Planning For Resilience Enhancing And Vulnerability Reduction, Alexander Siedschlag, Diana Silvestru, Florian Fritz, Andrea Jerković, Sussane Kindl 2014 Sigmund Freud University Vienna

Methods To Integrate Considerations On Culture, Ethics And Citizen Acceptance Into Urban Planning For Resilience Enhancing And Vulnerability Reduction, Alexander Siedschlag, Diana Silvestru, Florian Fritz, Andrea Jerković, Sussane Kindl

Publications

This paper presents selected relevant research results from the EU FP7 project VITRUV (“Vulnerability Identification Tools for Resilience Enhancements of Urban Environments”), relating to methods to integrate consideration on culture and ethics aspects, including citizen acceptance, into conceptual urban planning. While security aspects do not always figure prominently in urban planning, much of that planning has effects on citizens’ security. Security aspects obviously have an influence on how built environment is changed and developed. Conversely, the way in which built environment is changed and developed influences the security of infrastructures and society as a whole, both in manifest and in …


Comprehensive Security Research To Contribute To Critical Infrastructure Protection Contributions To Security Governance In Disaster Risk Reduction, Rosemarie Stangl, Alexander Siedschlag, Diana Silvestru, Florian Fritz, Andrea Jerković 2014 Sigmund Freud University

Comprehensive Security Research To Contribute To Critical Infrastructure Protection Contributions To Security Governance In Disaster Risk Reduction, Rosemarie Stangl, Alexander Siedschlag, Diana Silvestru, Florian Fritz, Andrea Jerković

Publications

Critical infrastructure protection (CIP) has become a major issue in civil security, emergency management and natural hazard management. The all-hazard approach has gained ground on the international scale, and the “comprehensive approach” in security policies and security research has been advanced in order to meet current and future threats based on better integrated information, assessment, policies and capabilities. This paper aims to showcase this “comprehensive approach”, highlighting its character and cross-links to CI and natural hazard and disaster management. The paper also contributes to a broader perspective on CIP by addressing current European political concepts and socio-cultural conditions, as well …
