Issues of Water Security in Europe

전광호 위기관리 이론과 실천 2022 Journal of Safety and Crisis Management Vol.12 No.2

In increasing awareness of global warming, the aim of this observational research is to critically analyse the connection between water availability and the resulting impact on security issues in Europe. Environmental changes, specifically climate change, as well as three other important reasons for water scarcity are taken into account. The paper ponders the question of whether lack of water is or will be a possible source of conflict in Europe in coming decade. While looking at every region of Europe the goal is to individually scrutinise, the approaches taken by the states in responding to rising issues of water security and offers an extended discussion on what these issues might mean for the future of Europe. The preliminary answer presented in the paper is that there is no a single, overarching solution for water scarcity. Every region has its own unique problems that require original approach. The water-related domestic issues do present some danger on a smaller regional scale. The paper argues that transnational conflicts are only possible in theory and are very unlikely to occur due to the firm establishment of the European Union.

Embedding Ballistic Missile Defence into the New Strategic Concept of NATO

전광호,이유진 한국유럽학회 2014 유럽연구 Vol.32 No.1

NATO’s endorsement of the Obama Administration’s European Phased Adaptive Approach (EPAA) has been one of the most strategically important decisions made in recent years. The EPAA involves a gradual deployment of increasingly advanced missile defence systems not only in Eastern Europe but across all of Europe over the course of a decade. NATO’s support for such systems prompted a series of reactions from the Russian government as well as within NATO itself. The significance of this plan brought back to the table an idea that NATO had agreed upon in 2005: the expanded development of a European ‘Active Layer Theatre Ballistic Missile Defence’ (ALTBMD) system. With growing concerns over unpredictable threats alongside ongoing concerns about insufficiencies in current BMD capacities, now firmly on NATO’s agenda, the alliance faces important decisions over how to proceed. Failure to reach an agreement could result in the weakening of an already divided alliance and undermine the alliance’s commitment to collective defence. This paper analyses the role BMD and ALTBMD in shaping NATO’s ongoing relevance; whether this is a policy area that should remain prominent in NATO’s strategic concept or whether it is an endeavour destined to waste limited NATO resources at a time of global financial constraint.

The EU Battlegroups: Growing Debates and the Future

전광호 한국유럽학회 2013 유럽연구 Vol.31 No.2

In the aftermath of the Cold War and with the beginning of this century the defense sector has assumed growing importance for the European Union. Therefore, it launched a series of initiatives to generate proper civilian and military instruments to enable it to perform its duties as a global actor. After having set new goals in accordance with the European Security Strategy, the European Union created a Battlegroup concept in order to develop a rapid reaction force capability. In 2007 the European Battlegroups achieved full operational capability and two of them are constantly ready to intervene far from European borders. This paper will analyse whether these military tools are sufficiently robust to address the new challenges that characterise the 21st century.

Nuclear Iran Dealing Options for the International Community

전광호 국방대학교 국가안전보장문제연구소 2011 The Korean Journal of Security Affairs Vol.16 No.1

How to deal with Iran’s nuclear program is a question which remains under discussion in some Western capitals. My research indicates that Iran’s nuclear program cannot be certified as not having a military dimension. However, the accusations that Iran is pursuing nuclear weapons are not based on concrete evidence. Furthermore, it has the right to develop the nuclear fuel cycle technologies, e.g., uranium enrichment. The primary issue is not the nuclear proliferation but the challenge to the U.S. interests in the Middle East. Notwithstanding the differences, a negotiated solution is considered possible and is in the interest of all stakeholders.

Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD) as a Concept for US Satellite Protection?

전광호 국방대학교 국가안전보장문제연구소 2014 The Korean Journal of Security Affairs Vol.19 No.1

This paper examines the use of Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD) as a form ofdeterrence employed by the US to protect itself considering its dependence uponspace-based capabilities and their associated vulnerabilities. Using research material ranging from academic papers to official government and military documents, itconcludes that a MAD deterrence strategy does not sufficiently protect satellites and is fundamentally undermined by a wide range of issues. These include the humanelements of a very poor ability to forecast strategic shocks and a susceptibility topsychological conditions; such limits to understanding of threats leave the US open topre-emptive or surprise attacks - a “Space Pearl Harbor.”

NATO:Adaptation and Relevance for the 21st Century

전광호 서울대학교 국제학연구소 2013 Journal of International and Area Studies Vol.20 No.2

NATO’s demise has been much heralded, dismissed by many as a remnant of the Cold War era, with no role in today’s complex security environment. Institutionally, the Alliance has endured beyond expected norms, evolving to remain relevant. This paper examines thematically how the Alliance has developed, through the prisms of its institutions, capabilities and political will. Analysing the areas of international relations and institutional theory, it establishes that NATO remains relevant. Whilst the Alliance is more flexible than it is perceived, enlargement has brought a divergence of views amongst members, which has led to particular tensions in burden-sharing and willingness to face risk, as highlighted in Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya. Whilst this dissonance continues, there is little prospect of NATO challenging the UN in terms of legitimate intervention. The process of change must continue.

Ethnically Divided Societies and the Role of Peace Building Education Bosnia and Herzegovina as a Case Study

전광호 한국유럽학회 2010 유럽연구 Vol.28 No.1

국제사회 에서는 인종적으로 분리된 사회에서 교육이 사회 불안이나 폭력적 투쟁에 대한 촉매제로서 역할을 한다는 것에 대한 우려가 증가하고 있다. 본 논문은 교육이 인종적 정체성의 구성, 동원, 그리고 정치화에 대한 주요한 역할을 한다라는 점을 전제한다. 그 내용과 구조를 통하여, 교육은 특정 인종 집단의 특권을 추구하는 정치 행위자들에 의해 지배되고 조종되기도 하며 사회의 다른 집단에게 해악을 미치기도 한다. 보스니아 헤르체코비나의 고도로 정치화되고 인종 차별적인 전후 교육 시스템은 초등과 중등교육을 망라한 정규 교육에서의 인종 정치의 영향을 연구하는데 있어 적절한 사례 연구를 제공한다. 본 논문에서는 교육 시스템의 주요 논점을 평가하고, 국제 사회의 주도로 시작된 교육개혁이 만족할만한 성과를 거두고 있는가에 대해 논의할 것이다. There is increasing concern within the international community that education can act as a catalyst for social unrest or even violent conflict in societies divided along ethnic lines. This paper will argue that education is a primary site of construction, mobilisation, and politicisation of ethnic identity. Through its content and structure, education can be controlled and manipulated by political actors seeking to protect the rights and privileges of their constituent ethnic group, often to the detriment of other groups in society. The highly politicised and segregated post-war education system in Bosnia and Herzegovina provides a relevant case study for examining the impact of ethnic politics on formal education at the primary and secondary school levels. Key aspects of the education system will be discussed, and the degree of success of educational reforms initiated by international community will be evaluated.
