In March 2011, NATO launched a mission hitherto entirely unthinkable: to protect civilians against Libya''s ferocious regime, solely from the air. NATO had never operated in North Africa, or without troops on the ground; it also had never had to move as quickly as it did that spring. It took seven months, 25,000 air sorties, 7,000 combat strike missions, 3,100 maritime hailings and nearly 400 boardings for Tripoli to fall. This book tells for the first time the whole story of this international drama, spanning the hallways of the United Nations in New York, NATO Headquarters in Brussels and, crucially, the two operational epicentres: the Libyan battlefield, and Joint Force Command Naples, which was in charge of the mission. Weighill and Gaub offer a comprehensive exploration of both the war''s progression and the many challenges NATO faced, from its extremely rapid planning and limited understanding of Libya and its forces, to training shortfalls and the absence of post-conflict planning. Theirs is a long-awaited account of the Libyan war: one that truly considers all the actors involved. - E-bokEngelska, 2018

This book examines the role of multiethnic armies in post-conflict reconstruction, and demonstrates how they can promote peacebuilding efforts.The author challenges the assumption that multiethnic composition leads to weakness of the military, and shows how a multiethnic army is frequently the impetus for peacemaking in multiethnic societies. Three case studies (Nigeria, Lebanon and Bosnia-Herzegovina) determine that rather than external factors, it is the internal structures that make or break the military institution in a socially challenging environment. The book finds that where the political will is present, the multiethnic military can become a symbol of reconciliation and coexistence. Furthermore, it shows that the military as a professional identity can supersede ethnic considerations and thus facilitates cooperation within the armed forces despite a hostile post-conflict setting. In this, the book challenges widespread theories about ethnic identities and puts professional identities on an equal footing with them.The book will be of great interest to students of military studies, ethnic conflict, conflict studies and peacebuilding, and IR in generalFlorence Gaub is a Researcher and Lecturer at the NATO Defence College in Rome.

A guide for both everyday readers and policymakers on using creativity and knowledge to imagine the best, prepare for the worst and live with surprise.Widespread pessimism and fear of the future are everywhere. With times to come often seeming threatening and uncertain, this book offers new perspectives and fresh ways of thinking. Futurologist Florence Gaub shows that everyone can influence what lies ahead--in their personal or professional life, or in society. Her ideas are for those who refuse to be paralysed by fear, instead seeing the future as a space full of possibilities.Gaub explores how humanity's visions of tomorrow have changed throughout history; she explains what the future is, how it works, what disruptions may arise and how to fix them. She draws on insights from neuroscience, psychology and philosophy to show how humans conceive and construct the future, as individuals and as a society.A bestseller in Germany, this smart, snappy handbook of ideas is an antidote to passive fatalism. It challenges our lack of faith in our own ability to shape what is to come, or how it will affect our lives. After all, we're the only beings who can imagine the future in such detail that we can actually create it. Gaub is a brilliant guide to rediscovering that gift. - Inbunden, Engelska, 2017

Guardians of the Arab State explains clearly and concisely how and why military organisations become involved in politics across the Middle East and North Africa, identifying four key factors: a high degree of organisational capacity, clear institutional interest, a forgiving population and weak civilian control. Looking at numerous case studies ranging from Mauritania to Iraq, the book finds that these factors are common to all Arab countries to have experienced coups in the last century. It also finds that the opposite is true in cases like Jordan, where strong civilian control and the absence of capacity, interest, or a positive public image made coup attempts futile. Gaub also convincingly argues that the reasons are structural rather than cultural, thereby proving a counter-narrative to conventional explanations which look at Arab coups along religious or historical lines. In essence, the questions addressed herein lead back to issues of weak statehood, legitimacy, and resource constraints -- all problems the Arab world has struggled with since independence.Guardians of the Arab State picks up where previous literature on Middle Eastern military forces dropped the debate, and provides an updated and insightful analysis into the soul of Arab armies. - Inbunden, Engelska, 2018

Ein Buch, das Ängste nimmt und den Blick nach vorn schärftFLORENCE GAUB hilft, die Zukunft zu denken, zu planen und persönlich zu gestalten. Denn diese ist das Resultat unseres individuellen Handelns.»Der Mensch ist das Wesen, das die Fähigkeit hat, sich die Zukunft so detailliert vorzustellen, dass er sie erschaffen kann«, sagt Florence Gaub, und das ist eine Nachricht voll Hoffnung. Denn selten war die Zukunft mit so vielen und großen Unsicherheiten behaftet wie heute: Krieg, Klima, Inflation...Florence Gaub zeigt mit Beispielen aus Neurowissenschaften, Psychologie, Philosophie und der Geschichte, wie der Mensch die »Zukunft« imaginiert, konstruiert und real erschafft.Denn das drohen wir momentan zu verlieren: Den Glauben daran, unser zukünftiges Leben selbst gestalten zu können.- Ein Big Idea Book auf Basis von Neurowissenschaften, Psychologie und Philosophie »Florence Gaub ist eine der fundiertesten Stimmen im Wissenschaftsbetrieb der Bundesrepublik.« Stefan Aust 234 kr

Die politische Zukunft der Welt ist offen. ›Szenario‹: Das Buch der OptionenDie Zukunft erscheint offener, furchteinflößender als vor wenigen Jahren. Wie sie aussieht, hängt nicht nur von Russland und den USA ab, sondern von einer großen Anzahl von Akteuren. Wir bekommen so das Gefühl zurück, dass auch wir eine Rolle in unserer eigenen Zukunft spielen, indem wir uns bewusst machen, was wir tatsächlich wissen, was wir nicht wissen und durch Annahmen ersetzt haben, und vor allem, welche Handlungsoptionen es gibt.Florence Gaub lädt dazu ein, selbst außenpolitische Entscheidungen zu treffen: Anstatt nur Zuschauer mehr oder weniger plausibler Szenarien zu sein, folgt man unterschiedlichen Entscheidungspfaden. Das Buch vermittelt Einblicke in mögliche Entscheidungsprozesse, und ein Gefühl der Selbstbestimmung.- E-bokSpanska, 2024

Florence Gaub ayuda a pensar, planificar y diseñar un futuro personalizado, pues no es más que el resultado de nuestros actos.«Somos seres con la capacidad de imaginar el futuro con tanto detalle que podemos crearlo», afirma Florence Gaub, en un mensaje lleno de esperanza. Pocas veces hemos tenido un futuro con una incertidumbre tan diversa y tan grande como hoy en día. Florence se sirve de ejemplos de la neurociencia, la psicología, la filosofía y la historia para mostrar cómo nos imaginamos, diseñamos y hacemos realidad el «futuro». En este momento corremos el riesgo de perder algo: la creencia de que podemos dar forma a nuestra vida futura.«Todos viajamos mentalmente al futuro varias veces al día, más que al pasado. Gracias a la neurociencia, sabemos que, en nuestro cerebro, el futuro es tan real como el presente. Por tanto, no es un tiempo que está por venir, sino un proceso individual, creativo, imaginativo y sensorial en el que se crea una realidad futura. Esta capacidad conforma la base de las expectativas, las decisiones y el libre albedrío. Así pues, no somos solo seres que se definen por su capacidad de raciocinio, sino también por su capacidad de viajar mentalmente al futuro». -Florence Gaub - Häftad, Engelska, 2013
