This groundbreaking work challenges modernist military science and
explores how a more open design epistemology is becoming an
attractive alternative to a military staff culture rooted in a
monistic scientific paradigm. The author offers fresh sociological
avenues to become more institutionally reflexive - to offer a
variety of design frames of reference, beyond those typified by
modern military doctrine. Modernist military knowledge has been
institutionalized to the point that blinds militaries to
alternative designs organizationally and in their interventions.
This book seeks to reconstruct strategy and operations in
"designing ways" and develops theories of action through
multifaceted contextualizations and recontextualizations of
situations, showing that Military Design does not have to rely on
set rational-analytic decision-making schemes, but on seeking
alternative meanings in- and on-action. The work offers an
alternative philosophy of practice that embraces the
unpredictability of tasks to be accomplished. Written by Colonel
Paparone (U.S. Army, Ret., PhD) with a special chapter by two
active duty officers, it will appeal to all in military and
security studies, including professionals and policymakers.
