Military and civilian organizations in the past have attempted to
understand culture and the cultural environment of conflict zones
through anthropology. While there is a small and growing number of
studies examining the use of anthropology for counterinsurgency, no
studies have compared the Anglo-Saxon ABCA Armies' approaches to
understanding cultural factors for counterinsurgency and
civil-military operations.Crisis of Cultural Intelligence: The
Anthropology of civil-military Operations thus represents a timely
investigation into a number of issues regarding the past and
present relationship between militarized anthropology, settler
colonialism, and Indigenous militancy and the Declaration of the
Rights of Indigenous Peoples, which has internationalized the claim
of encapsulated nations for equal rights. Covering issues such as
the use of militarized anthropology in the Vietnam War and the
controversial Human Terrain System (HTS) program used in
Afghanistan, this book addresses the need for constructive and
informed discussions about the nature and function of cultural data
collection and analysis for counterinsurgency, peace-building, and
conflict prevention operations.Crisis of Cultural Intelligence: The
Anthropology of civil-military Operations is particularly important
today, as cultural values and heritage continue to inform
civil-military interventions of intrastate armed conflict amongst
the people. Following the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, this book
will provide some insights into how militaries will now need to
look ahead and consider the types of conflicts they may become
involved in.
