Накратко на български

Военните конфликти в страни като Йемен, Нигерия и Украйна се анализират, за да се разбере как се води войната, когато западните държави не участват активно. Това помага за оценка на заплахите за сигурността и дава насоки за действията на правителствата.

NON-WESTERN MILITARY INTERVENTIONS AND THE CHARACTER OF WARFARE IN THE EUROPEAN PERIPHERY

This project explores the changing character of warfare in conflicts involving non-Western states (where Western states play a much smaller role than in recent wars such as those in Iraq and Afghanistan). Conflicts involving Western states over the last two decades have been subject to a good deal of analysis, whereas more recent conflicts where Western states have played a smaller role have been subject to less examination and have not been examined comparatively. This project looked at conflicts in Yemen, Nigeria, Ukraine and Iraq/Syria in particular. Comparative analysis of these conflicts is useful as it a) allows the observation of broader trends across different contexts and b) it allows you to explore how particular conflict dynamics (such as the strategies of insurgents or the responses of governments) differ across conflicts. Understanding these conflicts is very important as they represent a significant challenge to international and regional security as well as having huge humanitarian costs in terms of the numbers killed and displaced. This research has sought to understand some of the key dynamics better so as to be able to advise governments and other stakeholders on what to do (and what not to) in response to these and other future conflicts. The overall objective of this project is to assess how the character of conflict involving non-Western military powers differs from general conceptualizations of recent warfare (and each other). It aims also to assess the extent to which these conflicts show similarities and differences from recent Western wars and the similarities and differences between these conflicts themselves.

Цел на проекта

While Western countries regularly intervene militarily abroad, recent years have seen increasing levels of military intervention by non-Western authoritarian and weakly-democratic states in the EU periphery. Non-Western interventions profoundly impact the security dynamics of an increasingly fragile EU neighbourhood. Despite this, the patterns and character of resulting conflicts are ill-understood, especially compared to recent conflicts involving Western states (on which much of the recent conflict literature is based). This project will conduct a highly original comparative analysis of three EU-periphery conflicts (Ukraine, Yemen and the West African Sahel) that have seen the involvement of four of the most militarily active non-Western states in the wider EU neighbourhood (Russia, Saudi Arabia, and Nigeria/Chad respectively). The fellowship will advance knowledge of: 1) how the character of conflict involving non-Western military powers differs from general conceptualizations of contemporary warfare (and each other); and, 2) how the character of these conflicts is comprehended strategically both by key state actors involved, and by Western security actors (EU and NATO). Such a project is timely given rising levels of conflict in the EU periphery and necessary given the absence of comparative enquiry into the evolving character of armed conflict across the wider EU neighbourhood. Through a mixed-methods analysis of three conflicts of critical importance to the EU, this project will offer innovative research findings on the causes, politico-military strategic logics, military practice and potential resolution of contemporary non-Western war that will support the EU’s recently-developed 2016 ‘Global Strategy’ for the EU Foreign and Security Policy.
