Případová studie řízení obranných zdrojů z hlediska (ne)udržitelného rozvojeRecenzované - Vědecký

Daniela-Elena Hrab, Gheorghe Minculete

Vojenská přítomnost USA v Afghánistánu byla předmětem retrospektivních analýz, které usnadnily identifikaci a získání důležitých zkušeností pro budoucí vojenské akce. Tento článek analyzuje s využitím případové studie způsob, jakým byly obranné zdroje řízeny z hlediska udržitelného rozvoje, a zaměřuje se na trvalé účinky hlavních projektů, jejichž cílem bylo zajistit prvotní kroky této země směrem k udržitelnému rozvoji. Tato studie následně poukazuje na pozitivní potenciál, který by vojenský nástroj mohl mít v úsilí země o dosažení cílů udržitelného rozvoje, a zvýrazňuje cestu, jakou mohou způsoby neudržitelného řízení ohrozit nebo dokonce zmařit pokrok v této oblasti. Hlavním výsledkem výzkumu je model neudržitelného využívání obranných zdrojů, který by orgány s rozhodující pravomocí měly znát, a kterému by se měly v budoucnu vyhnout, aby dosáhly dlouhodobě prospěšných výsledků.

Klíčová slova: Afghánistán; obranné zdroje; výdaje na obranu; cíle udržitelného rozvoje; neudržitelný

A Case Study of Defense Resource Management in a (Un)Sustainable Development Perspective

The US military presence in Afghanistan has been the subject of retrospective analyzes that facilitated the identification and learning of important lessons for future military actions. This article analyses, through the case study method, the way defense resources were managed from a sustainable development perspective, focusing on the durable effects of the main projects aimed at ensuring this country's initial steps towards a sustainable development destination. As a result, this study points to the positive potential that the military instrument could have in a country's efforts to achieve sustainable development goals, highlighting the way that unsustainable management practices can compromise or even nullify the progress in this area. Consequently, the main product of this research is a model of unsustainable use of defense resources that decision makers should know and avoid in the future, to obtain long-term beneficial results.
