OverviewThis book begins discussion at a point where many civil–military conversations end. Hartwell identifies underlying dynamics, key issues, and challenges that civilian and military organizations encounter when negotiating their roles in real and virtual volatile environments. These include managing expectations, understanding organizational missions and cultures, building trust, and exploring different approaches to violence. The impact of applied technologies on decision making processes and interventions is discussed in terms of recent and future complex crises. Linking earlier history to current discussions, this study makes an important contribution by reframing issues and outlining strategies to avoid unintended consequences and more effectively protect civilians in future operations. While geographic focus is on the Middle East, Africa, Central Asia, and Asia-Pacific, the core issues are applicable to negotiating civil–military relationships in a wide range of environments.

Table of ContentsReviews'In conflict zones across the world, militaries and civilian organisations are expected to work together but often struggle to do so effectively. Drawing on a range of historical examples, Marcia Hartwell's perceptive and empathetic analysis offers new ways of looking at this familiar problem. This is an important book that will be of use to scholars and practitioners alike.' Gordon Peake, Australian National University 'Adept at navigating both the exclusive realms of international organizations and the U.S. Army, Dr Hartwell's ability to bridge the significant cultural gaps between military and civilian - and between academic and practitioner - is key to the book's insights. Many of the issues raised I witnessed first-hand in Iraq while serving with Dr Hartwell, as I was a primary facilitator of the transition of activities from the military to civilians. Addressing aspects of global security from military conflict to pandemics to crisis mapping to UAVs, her frank and balanced views and recommendations on civilian-military relations put this comprehensive book on the must read list for those interested in national security and humanitarian assistance, especially given the continued rise of non-state actors and the necessity of whole of government approaches.'
