CIVIL-MILITARY CO-OPERATION: A NEW AID PARADIGM
Journal Title: Impact Strategic - Year 2008, Vol 27, Issue 2
Abstract
The crux of this paper will hinge on understanding the challenges that face the development of Civil-Military Co-operation (CIMIC) missions, and the seven reasons supporting its indoctrination. Michael Pugh’s work, which will feature heavily throughout the paper contributes to the list of the five primary challenges faced by CIMIC: (1) the ‘blurring’ of boundaries for humanitarian agencies; (2) resistance from classicist humanitarians; (3) the possible endangerment of the civilian aid workers; (4) the potential to compromise the integrity of the mission; and, (5) some donors’ unwillingness to be associated with a military presence. The paper will argue that CIMIC will be a more succesfull method of conflict prevention in the complex conflicts that arise in Muslim dominated regions. Dispelling the myths about aforementioned challenges, the paper will argue that those challenges are fallible and subsequently provide a sufficient channel into the reasons why Civil-Military Co-operation missions will prove to be an adequate an efficient new aid paradigm. Other featured specialists will be Marj Duffield and T.G. Weiss. The scope of the paper will be through classical realism and reiterate the concerns and issues focused on amongst realists in relations to justice, influence, religious extremism and order.
