New security measures in civil aviation have been introduced as a consequence of security incidents in the past decades and to prevent potential threats in the future. Some of these measures have ...provoked serious negative public reactions. This paper aims to analyse the current civil aviation security framework and related public dilemmas about individual security measures, such as body scanners, the exchange of passenger data and passenger profiling. Based on the analysis of media records, press releases and debates in the European parliament on civil aviation security, the paper confirms the argument that that civil aviation security is conflicted between the varied technical possibilities to improve security and the unintended negative effects on the public. Implementation of new security measures needs to consider social concerns, such as privacy, human rights and health, if legitimacy of civil aviation business is to be retained.
This article reflects on the complex security situation in the Sahel region, identifying the causes and drivers of conflicts. The main hypothesis underlying the article is that the security situation ...in the Sahel region is influenced by several different causes and conflict drivers which have cumulative effects, making conflict resolution extremely difficult. The first part of the article identifies the causes and drivers of conflict and classifies them into four main categories. In the second part, the article shows how the causes and drivers are interwoven, creating multiple spillover effects, making the Sahel region one of the most problematic regions in the world.
Čeprav pandēmija COVID-19 ni kriza, ki zahteva uporabo vojaških sil kotglavnega sredstva za boj proti tej grožnji, je večina držav dejansko uporabila svoje nacionalne oborožene sile. Obseg uporabe se ...razlikuje in je odvisen od nacionalnega pravnega okvira, ki določa vlogo oboroženih sil pri kriznem upravljanju. V nekaterih državah so bile razporejene le redne sile, v drugih pa so bile aktivirane tudi rezervne sile. Vloga oboroženih sil se ni razlikovala le glede na vrsto oboroženih sil, ampak tudi glede na vrsto nalog. Kriza COVID-19 ni prva zdravstvena kriza, za katero so bile uporabljene oborožene sile. Izbruh ebole v letih 2014-2015 ponuja več pomembnih lekcij tako za oborožene sile kot za odločevalce. Članek temelji na analizi obsega uporabe oboroženih sil v pandemiji COVID-19 v sedmih državah med prvim valom pandemije na severni polobli v prvi polovici leta 2020 in problematizira vprašanje uporabe oboroženih sil v zdravstveni krizi, medtem ko avtorica identificira tudi izzive in koristi tovrstne uporabe oboroženih sil.

Nove, netradicionalne grožnje varnosti, ki so vse bolj kompleksne in indirektne, so postale velik izziv vsem nacionalnim varnostnim sistemom. Med njimi je tudi vprašanje energetske varnosti. ...Naraščajoča energetska poraba na eni strani, primanjkovanje resursov za proizvodnjo energije na drugi strani, vodijo v t.i. energetsko odvisnost. Oskrba z energijo je nuja za normalno gospodarsko proizvodnjo in rast, je pomembna za dobrobit narodov ter ima velik vpliv na mnoga druga področja nacionalne varnosti, kot so varnost preskrbe s hrano in pitno vodo, okoljska varnost in trajnostni razvoj.
The importance of getting the job done is taking over our personal lives and causing a potential work–family conflict. There are some institutions that have traditionally placed high demands on their ...members and have been termed ‘greedy institutions’. This article analyses the relationship between two greedy institutions – the family and the military – considering the demands they both place on their members. The article strives to establish which one of them is greedier and consequently responsible for a potential work–family conflict. The in-depth analysis is based on the findings of 10 years’ research among service members of the Slovenian Armed Forces and a sample of their families. The results indicate that: (1) both the family and the military might be greedy institutions, although especially during deployment the greediness of the military outweighs that of the family; (2) the contemporary military organization does not only require service members’ loyalty, but the whole family’s support; (3) Slovenian military families remain highly supportive, regardless of military demands; (4) there are no significant differences in balancing work/family between genders (p = .119), with women reporting less work–family conflict than men (p = .041) and women feeling more support for their deployment from their family and friends than men.
Patriotism needs understanding as a positive feeling that in its narrowest sense determines the relationship towards one's country as basic living space of family members and, at the same time, ...represents the foundation for a variety of actions by individuals. A high level of patriotism amongst members of a state's security system who are consequently providers of national safety is to be expected, and the members of the armed forces have perhaps the highest level of patriotism. Since its beginnings in June 1991, the Slovenian Armed Forces have been going through various reform processes and transformations. These developments have included changes in staffing the armed forces and a simultaneous constant reduction of the defence budget, both of which undoubtedly affect the satisfaction of each service member about their attitude towards the motherland and the system to which the service belongs. This analysis offers the results of a study of the members of the Slovenian Armed Forces that, first, identifies the level of patriotism amongst those members and, second, establishes their attitudes towards patriotism.
