Book SynopsisThis book examines how internal and external security are blurring at the EU level, and the implications this has for EU security governance and the EU as a security actor.The EU claims that internal and external security are inseparable' and requires a more integrated approach. This book critically assesses this claim in relation to the threats facing the EU, its responses to them, and the practical and normative implications for EU security governance and actorness. It sets out a novel conceptual framework the EU security continuum - to examine the ways and extent to which internal and external security are blurring along three axes: geographic, bureaucratic, and functional. This is done through an analysis of four key security issues, regional conflict, terrorism, organised crime, and cybersecurity. The book demonstrates that, to varying degrees, these security threats and/or responses do transcend boundaries. However, institutional turf wars and capability silos hamper tTable of ContentsIntroduction 1. Conceptualising EU security: toward a security continuum 2.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Problematising Intelligence Studies
Book SynopsisThis book offers a new research agenda for intelligence studies in contemporary times.In contrast to Intelligence Studies (IS), whose aim has largely been to improve the performance of national security services and assist in policy making, this book takes the investigation of the new professionals and everyday practices of intelligence as the immediate point of departure. Starting from the observation that intelligence today is increasingly about counter-terrorism, crime control, surveillance, and other security-related issues, this book adopts a transdisciplinary approach for studying the shifting logics of intelligence, how it has come to involve an expanding number of empirical sites, such as the police, local community, prison and the Internet, as well as a corresponding multiplicity of new actors in these domains. Shifting the focus away from traditional spies and Anglo-American intelligence services, this book addresses the transformations of contemporary intelligence Table of ContentsPART 1: Reconstructing the Object of Intelligence 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The AI Wave in Defence Innovation
Book SynopsisAn international and interdisciplinary perspective on the adoption and governance of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in defence and military innovation by major and middle powers. Advancements in AI and ML pose pressing questions related to evolving conceptions of military power, compliance with international humanitarian law, peace promotion, strategic stability, arms control, future operational environments, and technology races. To navigate the breadth of this AI and international security agenda, the contributors to this book include experts on AI, technology governance, and defence innovation to assess military AI strategic perspectives from major and middle AI powers alike. These include views of how the United States, China, Japan, South Korea, the European Union, and Russia see AI/ML as a technology with the potential to reshape military affairs and power structures in the broader international system. This diverse set of views aims to help elucTrade Review"This is a must-read volume for anybody interested in understanding both the general implications of AI in the world of defence and more specific issues, including a set of in-depth country-studies illustrating what exactly different countries are doing and trying to achieve."Andrea Gilli, Senior Researcher, NATO Defence College"This book is going to become the most important roadmap on how AI is likely to shape and influence the strategically consequential militaries of the world.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Routledge Handbook of the Northern Ireland Conflict and Peace
The Routledge Handbook of the Northern Ireland Conflict and Peace is the first multi-authored volume to specifically address the many facets of the 30-year Northern Ireland conflict, colloquially known as the Troubles, and its subsequent peace process. This volume is rooted in opening space to address controversial subjects, answer key questions, and move beyond reductive analysis that reproduces a simplistic two community theses. The temporal span of individual chapters can reach back to the formation of the state of Northern Ireland, with many starting in the late 1960s, to include a range of individuals, collectives, organisations, understandings, and events, at least up to the Good Friday/Belfast Agreement in 1998.This volume has forefronted creative approaches in understanding conflict and allows for analysis and reflection on conflict and peace to continue through to the present day. With an extensive introduction, preface, and 45 individual chapters, this volu

Taylor & Francis Ltd PRC Overseas Political Activities
Book SynopsisPolitical elites in liberal democracies are showing heightened concern about threats to national security from the overseas political activities of the People's Republic of China (PRC) and its supporters. This Whitehall Paper argues that an effective liberal democratic policy response requires careful disaggregation of distinct sets of risks: to national security; civil liberties; and academic freedom. Although widely cited as a model to follow, Australia's response to these issues illustrates how aggregation of these diverse risks into a singular national security threat commonly labelled Chinese influence' can produce alarmist public policy discourse, legislative overreach and mismatched institutional responsibilities. The Paper suggests a set of measures for liberal democracies to manage their engagement with China's powerful and increasingly authoritarian party-state.Table of ContentsIntroduction 1. Conceptual Language: The Problem with 'Chinese Influence' 2. Disaggregating the Risks 3. Risks of Reaction: Australia's Experience with Aggregation 4.

Book SynopsisHealth Security Intelligence introduces readers to the world of health security, to threats like COVID-19, and to the many other incarnations of global health security threats and their implications for intelligence and national security.Disease outbreaks like COVID-19 have not historically been considered a national security matter. While disease outbreaks among troops have always been a concern, it was the potential that arose in the first half of the twentieth century to systematically design biological weapons and to develop these at an industrial scale, that initially drew the attention of security, defence and intelligence communities to biology and medical science. This book charts the evolution of public health and biosecurity threats from those early days, tracing how perceptions of these threats have expanded from deliberately introduced disease outbreaks to also incorporate natural disease outbreaks, the unintended consequences of research, laboratoTable of ContentsIntroduction: Health Security Intelligence: engaging across disciplines and sectors 1.

The overall aims of the book are to: Provide ethical frameworks to aid decision-making Present the key ethical issues in relation to computer security Highlight the connection betweeTrade Review‘This book is a rich and valuable resource for students to learn more about non-technical aspects of cybersecurity.’ Markus Christen, Managing Director, Digital Society Initiative, University of Zurich, Switzerland ‘The authoritative text on cybersecurity ethics, covering a wide selection of topics including privacy, intellectual property theft, artificial intelligence and big data. This is a terrific resource for students in Europe and beyond.’ Max Smeets , ETH Zurich, Center for Security Studies (CSS) and Director of European Cyber Conflict Research Initiative 'A comprehensive tour de force in cybersecurity ethics. This illuminating book weaves together ethical frameworks that address the evolving nature of some of the most complicated cyber issues in the 21st century. Are we prepared to understand and respond to the ethical challenges that continue to emerge across cyber domains and technological advances? The author addresses these challenges head on and this book will prove to be an excellent resource to those who wish to advance their understanding of cybersecurity ethics.' William Travis Morris, Director, Norwich University Peace and War Center, USA 'This book is relevant and accessible, providing clear definitions and real-world examples connecting theory and practice. Computational and communications technologies continue to evolve and transform daily life and military operations, and also conceptions of peace and war, identity, and agency. Dr. Manjikian’s text proceeds from a premise that is now widely recognized: the design and use of cyber-related technologies are value-laden activities. This book promotes the kind of critical thinking and discussion about cyber and information warfare that we need in military and civilian classrooms today.' Karen Guttieri, Army Cyber Institute at West Point, USA Praise for the 1st edition: 'This book is a bold and innovative synthesis of thinking from diverse yet interlinked disciplines. It is vital reading for scholars, policymakers, security professionals and organizational leaders. Manjikian's explication of the ACM Code of Ethics shows why it is a foundational concept for cybersecurity.' Steven Metz, U.S. Army War College, USA ‘As cyber conflict, espionage and crime increasingly challenge nations and their citizens, Manjikian's Cybersecurity Ethics provides a comprehensive and needed addition to the cyber literature cannon. This work constitutes a robust framework for decisions and actions in cyberspace and is essential reading for policymakers, practitioners, and students engaging the field of cybersecurity.’ Aaron F. Brantly, Army Cyber Institute, United States Military Academy, West Point 'Mary Manjikian’s introduction to cybersecurity ethics nicely links philosophy to practical cyber concerns of students, corporate and government information managers, and even cyber warriors. Complicated concepts are easy to understand and relevant to personal decision-making.' J John A. Gentry, Georgetown University, USA 'Dr Manjikian has done a masterful job of outlining ethical standards to the constantly evolving cybersecurity domain. This book is a vital reference for those who are concerned with ethics related to hacking, privacy, surveillance, and cyberwarfare in an ever changing virtual environment that transcends boundaries and cultures and challenges the traditional ways that humans have dealt with each other. Ground-breaking and should be required reading for any serious cybersecurity professional.' Keith Dayton, George C. Marshall European Center for Security Studies, Germany 'A great introductory text to complex conceptual and practical issues in cybersecurity.' Heather Roff, Arizona State University, USA 'Mary Manjikian's excellent textbook, Cybersecurity Ethics, delivers an eminently readable perspective for the experienced professional as well as a casual cyberspace consumer. ...Overall, Cybersecurity Ethics excellently fulfills the stated goal to provide an ethical framework and illustrate several current issues regarding cybersecurity through a new textbook. The construction was splendid, material assembled coherently, and sources presented thoroughly and accurately. This book is an excellent introduction to ethical processes associated with cyberspace.'

Taylor & Francis Ltd De Facto States and LandforPeace Agreements
Book SynopsisThis book presents an analytical framework which assesses how ''land-for-peace'' agreements can be achieved in the context of territorial conflicts between de facto states and their respective parent states.The volume examines geographic solutions to resolving ongoing conflicts that stand between the principle of self-determination (prompted by de facto states) and the principle of territorial integrity (prompted by parent states). The authors investigate the conditions under which territorial adjustments can bring about a possibility for peace between de facto states and their parent states. It does so by interrogating the possibility of land-for-peace agreements in four de facto stateparent state pairs, namely KosovoSerbia, NagornoKarabakhAzerbaijan, Northern CyprusRepublic of Cyprus, and AbkhaziaGeorgia. The book suggests that the value that parties put on land to be exchanged and peace to be achieved stand at odds for land-for-peace agrTrade Review'Are there geographic solutions to peacefully resolving ongoing conflicts between the principles of self-determination and territorial integrity? Given repeated failures to implement power-sharing agreements, Berg and Kursani’s pioneering work directs our attention to the problems and prospects for land for peace agreements.'--Scott Pegg, Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI), USA'This is an extraordinarily timely book about secessionist conflicts, and the creation and persistence of quasi-independent states within the territories of recognised nation-states.

The territorial rules of the game are changing and they explain how, where and why.'--Klaus Dodds, Royal Holloway University of London, UK'Land for peace agreements have fallen out of favour in modern international relations. The idea of trading territory to resolve longstanding disputes is seen as passé at best, if not an affront to norms of contemporary peace-making.

Taylor & Francis Cultural Heritage in Modern Conflict
Book SynopsisThis edited volume offers an in-depth study of heritage and warfare from the perspective of defence studies.The book focuses on how, in different contexts, heritage can be a catalyst and target of conflict, an obstacle to stabilisation, and a driver of peace-building. It documents the changing role of heritage â in terms of both exploitation and protection â in various military capabilities, theatres, and operations. With particular concern for the areas of subthreshold and hybrid warfare, stabilisation, cultural relationships, human security, and disaster response, the volume reviews the historical relationship between heritage and armed conflict, including the roles of embedded archaeologists, safeguarding of ethics, and dislodgement and destruction of material culture. Various chapters in the book also demonstrate the value of understanding how state and non-state actors exploit cultural heritage across different defence postures and within both subthreshold and proxy warfTable of ContentsForeword Preface Introduction: Culture, Heritage, Conflict Part I: The Past on Parade 1.Heritage and the (Re)shaping of Social Identities in Conflict Cycles: Anchor or Quicksand? 2.

Taylor & Francis Proxy War in Yemen
Book SynopsisThis book analyzes the civil war in Yemen and how intervening external actors have shaped the trajectory of the conflict.The work examines the conflict in Yemen as a testing ground for expectations about the autonomy and control of proxies by external patrons and the direct consequences for civilian victimization and duration of war. Like other proxy wars, the international dimensions of the war made the conflict in Yemen subject to the geopolitical interests of intervening powers. The longstanding power rivalry between Saudi Arabia and Iran over Middle East supremacy resulted in a competitive intervention in Yemen, where the initial belligerents of the civil warâthe Houthi and the Hadi regimeâwere used as proxies by Tehran and the Gulf coalition led by Riyadh, respectively. Their intervention ultimately translated into a prolonged and destructive conflict. The often contradictory and self-interested patronage strategies by the coalitionâs two central patrons, Saudi Arabia an

Europe and the West have grown increasingly polarised in recent years, beset with financial crises, political instability, the rise of malicious actors and irregular violence, and new forms of media and social media. These factors have enabled the spread of new forms of extremism and suggest a growing need for a response sensitive to inequalities and divisions in wider society a task made even more urgent by the COVID- 19 pandemic.The Routledge Handbook of Violent Extremism and Resilience brings together research conducted throughout Europe and the world, to analyse various articulations of violent extremism and consider the impact that such groups and networks have had on the wellbeing of communities and societies.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Humanitarian Negotiations with Armed Groups
Book SynopsisHumanitarians operate on the frontlines of today's armed conflicts, where they regularly negotiate to provide assistance and to protect vulnerable civilians. This book explores this unique and under-researched field of humanitarian negotiation. It details the challenges faced by humanitarians negotiating with armed groups in Yemen, Myanmar, and elsewhere, arguing that humanitarians typically negotiate from a position of weakness. It also explores some of the tactics and strategies they use to overcome this power asymmetry to reach more favorable agreements.The author applies these findings to broader negotiation scholarship and investigates the implications of this research for the field and practice of humanitarianism. This book also demonstrates how non-state actors both humanitarians and armed groups have become increasingly potent diplomatic actors. It challenges traditional state-centric approaches to diplomacy and argues that non-state actors constitute an increasinglTable of ContentsIntroduction: Negotiating on the Frontlines 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Artificial Intelligence and International Conflict in Cyberspace
Book SynopsisThis edited volume explores how artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming international conflict in cyberspace.Over the past three decades, cyberspace developed into a crucial frontier and issue of international conflict. However, scholarly work on the relationship between AI and conflict in cyberspace has been produced along somewhat rigid disciplinary boundaries and an even more rigid sociotechnical divide wherein technical and social scholarship are seldomly brought into a conversation. This is the first volume to address these themes through a comprehensive and cross-disciplinary approach. With the intent of exploring the question what is at stake with the use of automation in international conflict in cyberspace through AI?', the chapters in the volume focus on three broad themes, namely: (1) technical and operational, (2) strategic and geopolitical and (3) normative and legal. These also constitute the three parts in which the chapters of this volume are organised, Trade Review"An impressive and much-needed cross-disciplinary assessment of the adoption of AI-enabled cyber capabilities, Artificial Intelligence and International Conflict in Cyberspace offers an expertly edited, nuanced, and ultimately cautionary view on the rising intersections of AI and cyberspace. The volume brings technical and social science scholarship together into conversations over the potential and perils of AI as an object and subject for cyber threats, as a strategic asset to be acquired (and threatened) by great and middling powers alike, and as a technology whose development demands ethical and legal boundaries even as those boundaries may shift via iterations in AI’s deployment by states and other stakeholders. Simply put, this book is essential reading for all those interested in the securitization of information technologies in the digital age" Duncan B. Hollis, Laura H. Carnell Professor of Law, Temple University Law School, United States"AI is set to become a constitutional component of economic, political, and military power. But in what ways? This timely book provides us with the necessary cross-disciplinary expertise to understand what is at stake when AI mingles with cyber conflict and how the international community should react to reduce the risks of the AI transformation."Myriam Dunn Cavelty, Deputy for Research and Teaching at the Center for Security Studies (CSS) and Senior Lecturer for Security Politics at ETH Zurich, SwitzerlandTable of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd A History of Radioecology
Book SynopsisThis book presents a history of radioecology, from World War II through to the critical years of the Cold War, finishing with a discussion of recent developments and future implications for the field. Drawing on a vast array of primary sources, the book reviews, synthesizes and discusses the implications of the ecological research supported by the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) of the United States government, from World War II to the early 1970s. This was a critical period in the history of ecology, characterized by a transition from the older, largely descriptive studies of communities of plants and animals to the modern form of the science involving functional studies of energy flow and mineral cycling in ecosystems. This transition was in large part due to the development of radioecology, which was a by-product of the Cold War and the need to understand and predict the consequences of a nuclear war that was planned but has never occurred.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Psychological Intergroup Interventions
Book SynopsisThis book introduces a comprehensive and integrative collection of psychological intergroup interventions. These evidence-based interventions are scientifically established and tested in several real-world contexts of intergroup animosities and tensions, from prejudice and inequality reduction to peace promotion. Intergroup hostility, violence, and discrimination have become more and more prevalent in recent decades. To address this challenge, recently, social scientists have shown an increasing shift from a descriptive to a more interventionist science, developing evidence-based interventions to improve intergroup relations. For the first time, this book includes research on intergroup interventions and their applications to the field, from a global collection of leading voices in the discipline. It also includes a conceptualization of intergroup interventions, a typology of different types of interventions, as well as a guideline for effective development of intergroTable of ContentsList of ContributorsPrefacePart 1: Psychological Intergroup InterventionsChapter 1: Reducing Prejudice through Intergroup Contact InterventionsRebecca Littman, Alexandra Scacco, and Chagai WeissChapter 2: Redrawing the boundaries: Creating positive intergroup relations interventions through shared values, memberships, and identitiesDanielle Blaylock, Rhiannon N.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Routledge Handbook of the Future of Warfare
Book SynopsisThis handbook provides a comprehensive, problem-driven and dynamic overview of the future of warfare. The volatilities and uncertainties of the global security environment raise timely and important questions about the future of humanity's oldest occupation: war. This volume addresses these questions through a collection of cutting-edge contributions by leading scholars in the field. Its overall focus is prognostic rather than futuristic, highlighting discernible trends, key developments and themes without downplaying the lessons from the past. By making the past meet the present in order to envision the future, the handbook offers a diversified outlook on the future of warfare, which will be indispensable for researchers, students and military practitioners alike. The volume is divided into six thematic sections. Section I draws out general trends in the phenomenon of war and sketches the most significant developments, from the past to the present and into the future. SectioTrade Review'The editors have assembled an impressive and diverse collection of experts to describe and analyze how state and non-state actors will likely wield violence in the future. Taking a comprehensive and cutting-edge perspective, the volume covers a broad range of topics from new concepts of warfare to novel technologies of coercion and violence. This important volume will become a must-read for those seeking to understand how technology and trends will shape future warfare.'Nina Tannewald, Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island, USA'Any book that seeks to comprehensively survey not only the current landscape of military and security studies but also its volatile future sets for itself a daunting task, but this extraordinarily wide-ranging volume delivers the goods. Assembling an array of accomplished authors from a refreshingly broad range of national, geopolitical, and epistemological perspectives, The Routledge Handbook of the Future of Warfare is in equal parts informative and thought-provoking, offering a combination of sophisticated theory and insightful analysis of recent and contemporary events "on the ground." This book will be an indispensable resource for anyone looking to understand twenty-first century warfare in all its complexity, with particular appreciation of the paradoxical interplay between cutting-edge technology and elemental patterns of human conflict.'Ward Thomas, College of the Holy Cross, Worcester, Massachusetts, USA'Thinking about the future of war is by definition a difficult task. The speed, the secrecy, the intangible nature of strategy and culture make it perhaps the most difficult intellectual challenge to encounter. This book meets this challenge brilliantly. It invites reflection, change of perception, innovative thinking, addresses old and new questions we have about what is to come when it comes to war. It brings together the greatest minds of our times, and fills an important gap in the landscape on all things future.'Florence Gaub, Research Director, NATO Defence College in RomeTable of ContentsIntroduction: Gazing into the Future Of Warfare Part I: Approaching Future Wars 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Peace Through Tourism
Book SynopsisPeace through Tourism considers the possibilities for tourism to contribute to efforts to unmask conflict and promote peace. This edited volume considers the intersections between tourism, peace, justice and sustainability through conceptual and empirical works surveying practices, problems and challenges all around the globe. It presents a complex and critical approach, arguing that peace through tourism is dialogic and not as simple as describing a few good niche segments of tourism.The pedagogies of peace represented here work to analyse structural violence associated with tourismsuch as in the dominance of neoliberal market imperatives over local or social economies; colonising, patriarchal and anthropocentric practices in tourism; and tourism's complex role in post-conflict settings. Analyses found here place scholars, industry and communities in conversation about building shared tourism futures where peace is understood as peace with justice and differencesTable of ContentsIntroduction Peace through tourism: Critical reflections on the intersections between peace, justice, sustainable development and tourism Part 1: Addressing structural violence 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Biosecurity Economic Collapse the State to Come
Book SynopsisWhat kind of state emerges from the pandemic? The pandemic caused two crises, in biosecurity and in the economy. The state was forced to tackle both; but subduing one inevitably exacerbated the other. Emerging from the impossible task of handling two conflicting crises is a new form of state, the state to come.To outline the emerging state, this book offers an in-depth critical account of the state''s responses to the biosecurity and the economic crises. It is thus the first study to address both crises ensuing from the pandemic, and to synthesise the responses to them in a comprehensive account of political power. Addressing biosecurity, the book deciphers its key modalities, epistemic premises, its law, the threat it aims to oppose and the ways in which it relates to public health and society especially its extraordinary power to suspend society. Addressing the economic crisis, the book deciphers the actuality and prospects of both the economy and the

Taylor & Francis Ltd Digital Blood on Their Hands
Book SynopsisCyberattacks are nothing particularly new to the world and Ukraine had suffered many such attacks by Russia over recent years. Russia had knowingly been exploiting Ukraineâs digital vulnerabilities as a proving ground for nearly a decade. Malware such as Sandworm and BlackEnergy had caused untold damage to the Ukrainian population and government previously, which allowed Russia to perfect cyberattacks for further, more global events. Russia had been planting cyber sleeper digital cells for years, especially in the US and the UK.Then, coincidently, the week after the Chinese Winter Olympic games had finished, Russia launched an all-out cyber offensive against 70 Ukrainian government websites. Owing to these being poorlyâand insecurelyâmaintained, they toppled one by one, causing havoc and disruption to the Ukrainian government and to Ukraineâs critical infrastructure. As Q said in James Bond: âI can do more damage by breakfast sipping my Earl Grey tea with my keyboard than you ever can in the field.â Sadly, Q was right, as we witness daily. The keyboard and mouse have indeed become mightier than the sword.The barrage of cyberattacks against Ukraine constitutes the first cyberwar by one nation against another. This attack crossed a very thin red line. That line had the hallmarks of a nation state, but had until now been confined to cyber criminal activities, immaterial of whom the perpetrators were. This, however, was now war. The cyberwar was simply a precursor, the softening of a country that would precede a kinetic war in which tens of thousands of people would lose their lives. This war was the first war for nearly 80 years that rang out deathly klaxons across Europe and the world.Digital Blood on Their Hands addresses the issues that the digital world has created, covering the culpability, causal links and even liabilities that go towards these war crime atrocities, often too frightening to believe and also too compelling to dismiss. It tells a side to the worldâs first ever cyberwar that you would never otherwise see or possibly hear about.Table of ContentsPreface. Author. Part I History.

Taylor & Francis Ltd War Peace and International Relations
Book SynopsisThis textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to the strategic history of the past two centuries, showing how those 200 years were shaped and reshaped extensively by war. The book takes a broad view of what was relevant to the causes, courses and consequences of conflict.The volume provides students with a strong grounding in the contribution of war to the development of the modern world, from the pre-industrial era to the age of international terrorism and smart weapons. Covering all the major wars of the past two centuries, the third edition has been revised and updated and now includes: new introductory essays at the start of each section to help students recognize historical turning points and strategic themes; revised and updated material on the post-Cold War period, accommodating new developments and contemporary perspectives; new material on non-Western views on strategy, especially Sun Tzu; a new chapter on The age Trade Review'Since it was first published in 2007 War, Peace and International Relations: An Introduction to Strategic History has been a classic and distinctive text in the Strategic Studies literature. Professor Gray, one of the great strategic thinkers of his day, argued that strategic history indicated that the future of warfare was likely to be very much like the past and that the general theory of strategy was unchanging. He also argued that great power rivalry was likely to re-emerge in the future. Following his premature death, Professor Wirtz has done a great service to students and practitioners of strategy by bringing Gray’s analysis up to date in this new edition showing how important Gray’s insights and analysis are to the understanding of the contemporary war in Ukraine and the growing geopolitical tensions in relations between the West and the developing ‘unlimited’ strategic alliance between Russia and China. Professor Wirtz is to be congratulated. This is a great testimony to the enduring value of the writings of Colin S. Gray.' Emeritus Professor John Baylis, FLSW, FRHist.S, FAcSS, USA Praise for previous editions: 'The author’s discussions and clarity of thought and expression make this work ideal as a textbook for introducing civilian students and prospective military officers of the various military academies to the subject.'
