Anthropologists in the SecurityScape

This book provides a foundation for the debate, with accounts of the work of cultural, physical and linguistic anthropologists and archaeologists in governmental and military organizations and the private sector.
Anthropologists in Arms
Anthropologists in Arms looks at the moral and ethical debates surrounding the recent development of 'military anthropology'--particularly the practice of embedding anthropologists with combat troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. Lucas traces the troubled history of social scientists collaborating with national military, security, and intelligence organizations and shows how these complex and frequently misunderstood historical concerns contribute to the contemporary moral controversy. He gives special attention to the Human Terrain Systems project developed by the U.S. Army under the direction of General David Petraeus.

Social-Behavioral Modeling for Complex Systems
This volume describes frontiers in social-behavioral modeling for contexts as diverse as national security, health, and on-line social gaming. Recent scientific and technological advances have created exciting opportunities for such improvements.

The result should be a new generation of modeling that will advance science and, separately, aid decision-making on maj...

Civil–Military Entanglements
Military-civilian encounters are multiple and diverse in our times. Contributors to this volume demonstrate how military and civilian domains are constituted through entanglements undermining the classic civil-military binary and manifest themselves in unexpected places and manners. Moreover, the essays trace out the ripples, reverberations and resonations of civil-military entanglements in areas not usually associated with such ties, but which are nevertheless real and significant for an understanding of the roles war, violence and the military play in shaping contemporary societies and the everyday life of its citizens.
