This article highlights the formulation of comprehensive conceptions of security in Indonesia, Malaysia and within the framework of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), well before their academic conceptualisation. These security doctrines have been the basis of the consolidation of state and military apparatuses in the region. They tend to be overlooked by analyses praising the recent conversion of Southeast Asian political elites to the “non-traditional security”? agenda. This latter development is perceived as a source of multilateral cooperation and a substitute for the hardly operationalisable concept of human security. However, in the region, non-traditional security proves to be a semantic evolution rather than a policy transformation. At the core of ASEAN’s security narrative, it has provided a multilateral anointing of “broad” but not deepened conceptions of security, thus legitimising wide-ranging socio-political roles for the armed forces.

The Search and Rescue Co-ordination Center Goch called me, some years ago, to the Stuttgart airport with the rescue helicopter of the Federal Armed Forces Rescue Center at Ulm. A single-engine sports plane, whose pilot was a student on his first solo flight, had tried a belly landing. Next to the runway, there were several fire-trucks, two ambulances and one emergency physician's car waiting. Our rescue helicopter stayed hovering for nearly one hour until the student pilot finally managed a belly landing. Safe on the ground, he was surrounded by firemen, paramedics and physicians, while we flew back to Ulm. We had not landed promptly I was told because of the landing taxes an army helicopter has to pay at a civilian airport! This episode prompted me to look for more information.The Federal Republic of Germany is obliged by international agreements to search for planes in distress—no matter what nationality—to save the passengers and, if possible, the equipment and to provide medical treatment for the survivors if necessary. This Search and Rescue (SAR) Service is executed according to the instructions given by the International Civil Aeronautical Organization (ICAO). In the Federal Republic, the SAR service is provided jointly by the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Transport. The Ministry of defense provides the means and the Rescue Co-ordination Center. The Ministry of Transport provides the alarm services through the air traffic control offices.

Abstract On 25th of January 2018 Civil and Military Aeronautical Rescue Coordination Centre (ARCC) commenced operations in Polish Air Navigation Services Agency (PANSA). PANSA increased significantly its contribution in the domain of coordination of search and rescue activities in ASAR service in the Polish area of responsibility. Up to this date all tasks of ARCC Centre were conducted mainly by Armed Forces of Republic of Poland, which performed coordination function in ASAR (Aeronautical Search and Rescue) service. The bodies responsible were Aeronautical Search And Rescue Centre located in Air Operations Centre – Air Component Headquarter in Warsaw and sub-centre in Gdynia, part of Naval Operations Centre of Naval Component Headquarter. According to international commitments resulting mainly from Convention on International Civil Aviation signed on 7th of December 1944 in Chicago and ratified by Poland together with Annex 12 “Search And Rescue”, Poland committed to establish aeronautical search and rescue service called ASAR within Polish region and to assure its operation. ASAR service is the only service in Poland for rescue purposes and is designated to search and rescue of aircraft in distress, provision of help for aircraft crews and passengers and other victims of aeronautical accidents (regardless to nationality of these aircraft and persons). ASAR service tasks include search of designated area to find location of aircraft and victims of aeronautical accidents, determination of their status and commencement of rescue actions at the location using dedicated forces and measures as well as forces and measures of another systems, mainly from State Medical Rescue, National Firefighting and Rescue System and Maritime Search and Rescue Service. ASAR service consists of: a)commanding element – Civil-Military Aeronautical Rescue and Coordination Centre, b)executive elements – Aeronautical Search and Rescue Teams (LZPR), and c)supporting elements – alerting points (air traffic services units operating in the framework of alerting service).

O caso argentino é emblemático para os estudos sobre relações civis-militares e missões das forças armadas na América do Sul. É considerado o país que, após o fim ditadura, teve maior sucesso em controlar politicamente suas forças armadas e restringir a atuação interna das mesmas, sendo a Lei de Defesa Nacional central neste processo. Em 2018, houve uma reinterpretação desta norma, pela qual a noção de “ameaça externa” passou a se pautar por uma perspectiva territorial e não mais relativa à natureza da ameaça. Essa ressignificação abriu margem para a alocação das forças armadas em operações de segurança pública. No artigo tem-se o objetivo de mostrar como este processo de reinterpretação tensiona duas concepções consolidadas na bibliografia: a relação entre controle político e redução das missões domésticas dos militares e a divisão interno/externo como parâmetro da organização dos instrumentos de força do Estado.Palavras-chave: Forças Armadas; Argentina; Defesa. ABSTRACTThe Argentine case is emblematic for the studies of civil-military relations and armed forces’ missions in South America. It is deemed the country that, after the dictatorship, had the greater success in politically controlling its military, as well as restricting their domestic activities. The National Defense Law was central in this process. In 2018, the reinterpretation of this rule grounded the notion of “external threat” on a territorial perspective, and no longer on the nature of the threat. This reframing opened the way for the armed forces deployment in public security operations. The aim of the current paper is to show how this process of reinterpretation challenges two arguments consolidated in the literature: the relationship between political control and the reduction of military domestic missions and the inside/outside division as a parameter for the organization of the State's instruments of force.Keywords: Military Forces; Argentina; Defense.

The article is devoted to the consideration of the foundations and dynamics of international legal regulation of migration flows through the value legal analysis of the connection between threats to state security from transnational refugee flows. The Author begins with an analysis of the relationship between migration and security, which he proposes to understand as a complex of threats to state sovereignty from migration flows, such as blurring of national identity provided a pronounced ethnic nature of such identity, competition between states to attract human resources through transnational migration flows, and increasing the level of both danger and violence in the presence of migration flows in relation to the conflict (potential or existing). Through an analysis of international agreements – the Convention relating to the Status of Refugees of 1951, and the Convention on Specific Aspects of Refugees in Africa in 1969, the Author concludes that both documents use the same legal technique based on understanding and simultaneously hyperbolizing the link between migration and security of states. International law on refugee status is a balance of the humanitarian idea of protecting human rights in the individual case of legitimate fears of persecution, and security of each state, with a clear advantage of security issues in the legal technique of providing the list of exceptions. This approach had changed at the turn of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries due to the emergence and development of the concept of human security, which leads to a comprehensive understanding of international legal regulation of migration flows: refugee protection provided by the Refugee Convention should be seen in the context of general international obligations of states for the protection of human rights. At present, a respect for human rights as a basis for state security forms the agenda of international institutions, especially those within the UN system. Among regional international agreements, Protocol No 4 to the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms is a clear example, based on the priority of human rights in the state’s actions to control migration flows, and it reflects a shift in human rights discourse. The Author predicts that further discourse on the relationship between migration and security, in particular – the control of refugee flows, will take place in the context of human security in the direction of reducing the hyperbolization of threats to migratory flows of security, but the development will depend primarily on existing flows of refugees.

This chapter explores the interaction between domestic and international law in relation to the state’s engagement with treaties. Treaty engagements are important mechanisms through which states conduct their foreign relations. The domestic allocation of responsibility for the making and unmaking of treaties is therefore a significant question of the constitutional separation of powers in the realm of foreign relations law. Treaties are also international legal instruments, facilitating the development of international law and international institutions. The domestic and international law of treaties therefore both concurrently regulate the state’s power to join and leave treaties. This chapter examines the relationship between these two bodies of law in this regard, setting out developments in domestic jurisdictions establishing constitutional limits on the executive’s power to enter and exit treaties, and addresses the possible impact of these constitutional developments in the international law of treaties.

Recently, the relationship between emotional arousal and depression has been studied. Focusing on this relationship, we first developed an arousal level voice index (ALVI) to measure arousal levels using the Interactive Emotional Dyadic Motion Capture database. Then, we calculated ALVI from the voices of depressed patients from two hospitals (Ginza Taimei Clinic (H1) and National Defense Medical College hospital (H2)) and compared them with the severity of depression as measured by the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAM-D). Depending on the HAM-D score, the datasets were classified into a no depression (HAM-D < 8) and a depression group (HAM-D ≥ 8) for each hospital. A comparison of the mean ALVI between the groups was performed using the Wilcoxon rank-sum test and a significant difference at the level of 10% (p = 0.094) at H1 and 1% (p = 0.0038) at H2 was determined. The area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic was 0.66 when categorizing between the two groups for H1, and the AUC for H2 was 0.70. The relationship between arousal level and depression severity was indirectly suggested via the ALVI.

In the conduct of foreign policy and the participation of the United States in international affairs, the relation between the Navy and the Foreign Service is of vital importance, but often misunderstood. The relationship encompasses the very wide range of coördination and coöperation which should and must exist between the two interdependent government agencies in peace, during times of national emergency, and, finally, when the country is engaged in actual warfare. The relationship involves, as well, the larger problem of national defense, and this cannot be ignored if the United States is to maintain its proper position in world affairs.

This study is dedicated to the regional history of the East-West conflict on the basis of the relationship between the Germany military and the Belgian armed forces stationed in Germany. The central question it addresses is which factors were largely responsible for the interdependence between actors and institutions of both armies. In addition to analysing the limited time of the peak phase of Belgian military deployment in the Federal Republic 1946–1990, the book concentrates regionally on the military training areas of Vogelsang in the Eifel and the Wahner Heide near Cologne as military contact zones. For this purpose, the author evaluates unpublished archival sources at the local level for the first time.
