Povzetek V prispevku predstavljamo znanstvena in aplikativna spoznanja pomembnih teoretikov in avtorjev 19., 20. in 21. stoletja s področij teorije strategije, teorije in filozofije vojne in vojskovanja ter vojaške zgodovine, ki so pripomogli k prepoznavanju in utrjevanju pomena obrambnega planiranja (Carl von Clausewitz, Liddell Hart, Bernard Brodie, Colin S. Gray, Harry R. Yarger, Williamson Murray in drugi). Na podlagi analize njihovih teoretičnih spoznanj proučujemo nujnost razvijanja strateške misli v obrambnem planiranju in nujnost obstoja obrambnega planiranja. Ta je v sodobnem svetu prepoznan kot eden od najučinkovitejših instrumentov države pri zagotavljanju njenih obrambnih potreb in obvladovanju negotove prihodnosti nacionalne varnosti. Ključne besede: politika, strategija, obrambno planiranje. Abstract The article presents scientific and applicative findings of important 19th, 20th and 21st century theoreticians and authors in the field of strategy theory, war and warfare theory and philosophy, and military history, who have contributed to the acknowledgment and reinforced importance of defence planning (Carl von Clausewitz, Liddell Hart, Bernard Brodie, Colin S. Gray, Harry R. Yarger, Williamson Murray et al.). On the basis of the analysis of their theoretical findings, we examine the urgency of developing a strategic thought in defence planning and the urgency of its existence. In the contemporary settings, defence planning is recognised as one of the most effective national instruments in the support of its defence needs and management of national security’s uncertain future. Key Words: Defence Planning, Strategy, Policy.

Uncertain Future

The rise of East Asia, South East Asia and South economically to become the leaders of global capitalism with some 50% of output in the world market economy has one negative drawback, namely the enormous increase in CO2 emissions in this part of the world. Together with general environmental stress, Asia may come pay a heavy price for its stunning economic success, if present trends continue over the 21st century. Asia, here with Australia added, cannot just wait for the eventual implementation of the COP21 Treaty. It needs to go ahead and become the leader in environmental protection.

Uncertain Future

This article aims to describe the recent changes in urban sociology in Japan, especially by focusing on dominant urban narratives and their historical background. Japanese cities have rushed through a compressed modernity since the early 20th century. The sweeping crisis in the 21st century can be regarded partially as one of its consequences. New urban crises such as disparity and poverty, loss of habitat, internal populism, and various risks are emerging. At the same time, various challenges unique to cities are also rising. Incremental and contingent restructuring has been urged through a process of both merging and colliding of ‘the persistent’ and ‘the newly generated’ factors inside of cities. How do we imagine a sustainable form of cities through repositioning them in an uncertain future? More incisive urban research is now demanded to explain the relation between the social, political, cultural, and material factors in a city.

Appreciative Leadership

The 21st century world is connected through a complex web of different technologies where there are lots of complexities faced by various organizations worldwide. There are challenges in terms of employee attrition, uncertain future, and complex and dynamic policies and procedures. We are also constantly bombarded with cutthroat competition and huge challenges in terms of social, economic, political, and environmental factors. We also see workplace diversity, which has become an area of organizational culture. These varied challenges require another revolution in the domain of management and organization at large wherein newer leadership practices would be called forth. This chapter introduces appreciative leadership as the new and the most powerful approach of leadership that addresses all possible challenges of the new world.

Uncertain Future

As we move into the third decade of the 21st century, the 2020s, the unprecedented rate of technological disruption and the short-lived nature of the specifics of engineering state-of-the-art require us to carefully evaluate what it takes to be an effective engineer and what this entails for engineering education and their lifelong learning. While it is true that certain basics of engineering will not change, there will be an increased premium for some skills (such as lifelong learning, meta-learning, collaboration, creativity, critical thinking, communication skills, and cultural/global literacy). 21st-century skills are, as such, timeless skills: it is paradoxically the volatile nature of the modern world that has forced us from ephemeral vocational fads back to these permanently valuable skills. In this work, after reporting on the skills that policy tanks and thought leaders deem necessary for the 21st century, we provide a synthesis in which we describe the pulls and pushes that learners and educators will face in the turbulent times of 2020 and beyond, and how they can thrive in the uncertain future through holistic well-rounded engineering education.
