As an organization operating under extreme conditions, the military
is often confronted with destructive behavior from individuals,
organizations, and societies. Written by experts from a variety of
disciplines, this open access book reflects on confrontations with
violence under extreme conditions and the various challenges that
arise. By examining real first-hand accounts of soldiers’
deployments, the contributions shed new light on the multifaceted
and sometimes hidden dynamics of destructive violent behavior and
offer an ethical reflection on military practices. In addition,
they address topics such as moral decision-making in violent
contexts, military trauma, organizational change, and military
ethics education. The interdisciplinary exploration of these topics
has been the primary focus of Désirée Verweij, who was the Chair
of Military Ethics at the Netherlands Defence Academy from 2008 to
2021. The contributions in this book are written in honor of her
scholarly achievements and help to ensure that these important
issues continue to receive attention. The book will appeal to
scholars of military studies, organizational studies and military
ethics, and to professionals and decisionmakers in military
organizations.
