2014年度　国際研究センター研究会のお知らせ

The Currents and Future of Civil-Military Interaction in the Field:
Humanitarian Space and UN Integration

Lecturer: William J. Flavin
Assistant Director
US Army Peacekeeping and Stability Operations Institute
(PKSOI)

Chair and Commentator: Chiyuki Aoi
Professor, SIPEC, Aoyama Gakuin University

* William Flavin assumed the job as the Assistant Director at the US Army Peacekeeping and Stability Operations Institute, located at the U.S. Army War College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania in July 2013. Before this assignment he was the head of the Doctrine and Education Division in PKSOI. From 1995 to 1999, he was a Colonel in the US Army serving as the Deputy Director of Special Operations for the Supreme Allied Commander Europe at the Supreme Headquarters, Allied Powers Europe. He was a senior fellow at CSIS for his Army War College year and taught at the Army War College.
** The nature and complexities of today’s multi-dimensional operations are such that no single organization, department, or agency has all the requisite resources, authority, or expertise to single-handedly provide an effective response. While the military normally focuses on reaching clearly defined and measurable objectives within given timelines under a command structure, civilian organizations are concerned with fulfilling changeable political, economic, social, and humanitarian interests using dialogue, bargaining, risk taking, and consensus building. Harnessing the power of disparate organizations with different priorities and procedures is a daunting task. As such, collaboration among various military, governmental, non-governmental, and civilian agencies with the host nation is needed to achieve a common goal.

Date: 9 April 2014 (Wednesday) 18:30～20:00
