Total defence, as a concept, combines and extends military and
civil defence: in a state of war or emergency, all social
institutions mobilize to defend the state. Total defence forces,
led by a diverse workforce of defence and security professionals,
are critical to both national defence and international security
goals. Total Defence Forces in the Twenty-First Century looks at
the various groups that make up this workforce: members of the
military’s regular force, reservists, defence civil servants, and
contractors working for private military and security companies.
When civilian staff and military personnel work towards a common
goal, their distinct professional cultures and identities can make
integration challenging. Despite the often high levels of
partnership, underlying differences affect the quality of the
collaboration and, ultimately, organizational and operational
effectiveness. Defence ministries around the world are increasingly
recognizing the importance of optimizing the ways in which they
employ and integrate civilian and military personnel. This volume
focuses on a critical question: what are the main challenges to
workforce integration and collaboration, and how can such
challenges be overcome to deliver the full potential of the total
defence force? Together, scholars and practitioners provide some
answers.
