While counter-insurgency represents a hugely challenging form of contemporary warfare, there exists a considerable body of experience that offers assistance in the form of examples of both good and bad practice. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe main aim of this book is to present these examples and the lessons that can be drawn from them. Such lessons can be of considerable benefit to today's policy-makers and military practitioners. The book also considers how these lessons can actually fit into the contemporary framework - as defined by military, political and institutional logic - that shapes and bounds today's counter-insurgency warfare. \u003cem\u003eDimensions of Counter-Insurgency\u003c\/em\u003e explores a number of key themes including: the experience of counter-insurgency in the Middle East; the contribution of maritime and air forces; the challenges posed in adapting Western armed forces to their new tasks; and the responses made - in light of the perceived need for international action against insurgencies - by multilateral institutions such as NATO and the European Union. This book features a broad range of contributions from academics and military thinkers on both sides of the Atlantic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis was previously published as a special issue of \u003cem\u003eContemporary Security Policy.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tim Benbow\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415450373\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415450379\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/20\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.56d","brand":"Tim Benbow","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48136088486143,"sku":"9780415450379","price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ef390a91-3ba4-4fe0-b2a7-0e90b2765911.jpg?v=1770160431","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dimensions-of-counter-insurgency-tim-benbow-9780415450379","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
