The main goal of this paper is to analyze the new theoretical concepts that provide a vision regarding the future armed conflicts, determined by the technological advance and the increased dynamics of the information flows between different levels of authority within modern societies. The paper starts with an analysis of today’s international environment (characterized by the existence of competing cultural contexts and political opinions which generate frictions, crisis and eventually military conflict), followed by a comprehensive plea regarding the necessity of changing the current military operating concepts. Finally there are presented two solutions that address the desired conceptual change, which fit the uncertainty of future conflicts: the “Army Operating Concept” developed by the US Army Training and Doctrine Command, and “Future Operating Environment 2035”, developed by the UK Concepts and Doctrine Centre's (DCDC).

In 1972 the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) created the Order of Military Merit (Order) to honor members who have demonstrated conspicuous merit and exceptional service. Despite efforts to ensure appointments to the Order were representative of the entire CAF, a 2007 study found that appointments had become concentrated at senior ranks. In response to this study, new nomination guidelines were released in 2007 and then augmented in 2010. The 2010 guidelines yielded some early positive results; however, the average years of service (YOS) at appointment target has not been met. The Order’s advisory council requested a population forecast of the Order to determine the impact on the size and YOS profile of the serving Order population if the typical YOS at appointment is reduced to 18 to 23 years. This paper presents the methodology used to model the Order population and discusses the impact of appointing members to the Order earlier in their career.

Strategy-making is a multi-dimensional and multi-faceted process.It encompasses interrelationships among and within parties and the strategic environment at different levels, and incorporates a series of actions and reactions into a strategic plan. The deep consideration of interrelations and the length of the calculus of interactions affect the outcome, a strategy.New era has brought new requirements to strategy-making. Globalisation, technological advancements and unsettled global order after the collapse of the Soviet Union are new phenomena that have increased the level of uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity. The ‘old’ model and methods of strategy development are increasingly becoming inadequate to address the challenges associated with the modern strategic enviornment. Even carefully crafted classical strategies may become obsolete in a short period of time in today’s fast-paced world.These modern phenomena have raised criticism to existing concepts and models as strategies continue to fail. Current strategy-making model and concepts are required to be investigated in dept in order to understand if addressing especially the hybrid constructed challenges of the modern strategic environment would be possible by traditional strategies.

In the aspect of disaster response, the Indonesian Navy has KRI: dr.Soeharso-990 which has been equipped with medical supplies in carrying out the operation task of disaster response in the regional area. However, as a KRI which is diversified as hospital-aids ship (BRS), KRI: dr. Soeharso-990 still has several obstacles in the implementation of emergency response operations. Based on the current conditions, it needs a training strategy to develop the capability of KRI:dr. Soeharso-990 during a joint emergency response operation. This study aims to provide an alternative formulation of a strategy to train the capability development using the approach of Strength, Weakness, Opportunity, Threat (SWOT), InterpretativeStructural Modeling (ISM), and aspects of Balanced Scorecard (BSC). Based on the results of the SWOT matrix analysis, the SO Strategy consists of 3 (three) strategic steps; ST Strategy consists of 3 (three) strategic steps; WO strategy consists of strategy step, and WT strategy consists of a strategy step so that all total consists of8 sub-strategies. Based on the results of the elements' classification in the strategy,it was obtained 5 (five) levels of the hierarchical structure. In this hierarchical structure, it can be seen that sub-strategy of ST-3 and sub-strategy of WO-1 were at level V. Meanwhile, sub-strategy of ST-1 and ST-2 were at level IV. Sub-strategy ofSO-2, WT-2, SO-1 were at level III, II and I.

In contemporary geopolitical conditions, the world politics actors in striving to achieve their goals have to change their approaches and methods. In so doing they must take into account the changes that are taking place in the system of international relations, in particular in international security. At the same time, they have the opportunity to take advantage of improvements in science and technology and exploit the benefits of the information society. In these terms, the migration that is getting more large-scale and is gaining new patterns and peculiarities can actas the instrument to achieve the political goals, for example, the destabilization of the target country or region on the hybrid war context. The reasons for the actors to use migration as the means to achieve their goals and the ways to direct and use are provided in the article. Besides, we have proposed the system of indicators to be monitored to define if the migration processes are gaining attributes of destructive and if they are being used by the certain world politics actor.

Non-tariff measures such as food safety and technical standards are used to achieve the non-trade objective of protecting consumers’ health and safety. On the other hand, they can also be deployed as a trade secure tool to drive a price wedge between foreign and domestic producers. This study investigates the protectionist tools of 34 developing countries food safety standards using a sample of developing countries food imported from developed and other developing countries with a specific focus on vegetables, Trunks, machinery, and tobacco. We employ the theoretical framework of the gravity equation by applying SGMM estimation. Our results indicate that vegetable and machinery variables are negative and statistically significant. Meaning that both variables have a negative impact on GDP, in other words, both variables are not supported GDP and economic growth in the developing countries. Finally, Trunk variable is positive and statistically significant. It shows that this variable leads to promote economic growth in developing countries. While Tobacco is positive and statistically insignificant, meaning that this product does not play an important role in the trade sector in our sample countries.
