EXAMINATION HUMAN RIGHTS BRITISH MILITARY

项目摘要

Context/rationaleThe British military have a complex relationship with human rights, both as a legal body and a cultural concept. Existing studies focus on the practical implications of the relationship between law and the military, often centering around the fears that absorbing human rights norms into the military sphere may undermine the effective conduct of operations. This study will provide new insights by considering human rights from a cultural perspective, to examine the impact on identity rather than strategy.AimsThe core aim is to explore the meanings of human rights within British military identities. Realist conceptions of security tend to view human rights as subordinate to national security. This project is predicated on the assumption that security and rights are not separate, competing notions; the human rights agenda has become, be it desired or not, central to British military and national identity. By considering the dynamic between official approaches and the experiences of service personnel, the project aims to explore the complexities of human rights discourse. It will identify how the military reacts to the continuing evolution of human rights norms, and the implications of this for the institutional identity of the armed forces.Research questions1) How are human rights framed in the military's public documents? 2) How are human rights perceived within the British military? 3) What does the relationship between external/internal conceptions of human rights culture tell us about contemporary British military identity?4) As the normative agenda of human rights evolves, what impact will this have upon the culture of the British military?Scope/methods/designSituating the project at the crossroads between literatures on human rights and military identity, a mixed-methods approach shall be adopted. How these agendas interact in official and informal discourses of human rights according to the available sources, in co-production with the partner organisation. Document analysis will be the primary means for analysing official attitudes, using coding software, such as NVIVO, to organise the material and to elicit the dominant themes. Following coding, these themes will be further examined in selected documents alongside wider academic literature and semi-structured interviews with former service personnel. The adoption of a more ethnographic approach, combining a review of the existing literature, participant interviews and document analysis, ensures that a holistic analysis of the study of human rights and military culture is thus conducted.

背景/理由英国军队与人权有着复杂的关系，无论是作为一个法律机构还是一个文化概念。现有的研究集中于法律与军事之间关系的实际影响，其中心往往是担心将人权规范纳入军事领域可能会破坏行动的有效进行。这项研究将提供新的见解，从文化角度考虑人权，审查对身份而不是战略的影响。本文的核心目的是探讨英国军人身份中人权的意义。现实主义的安全观倾向于将人权视为国家安全的附属品。这个项目是基于这样的假设：安全和权利不是分开的、相互竞争的概念；不管是否愿意，人权议程已经成为英国军队和国家认同的核心。通过考虑官方方法与服务人员经验之间的动态关系，该项目旨在探索人权话语的复杂性。它将确定军方如何对人权规范的不断演变作出反应，以及这对武装部队的体制特性的影响。研究问题1)军方的公开文件是如何界定人权的？2)英国军队如何看待人权？3)关于当代英国军人的身份认同，外部/内部人权文化概念之间的关系告诉我们什么？4)随着人权规范性议程的发展，这将对英国军队文化产生什么影响？范围/方法/设计项目处于人权文献与军人身份文献的交叉点，应采用混合方法。根据现有资源，这些议程如何在官方和非正式的人权话语中相互作用，并与伙伴组织共同制作。文件分析将是分析官方态度的主要手段，使用编码软件，如NVIVO，组织材料并引出主要主题。编码后，这些主题将在选定的文件以及更广泛的学术文献和对前服役人员的半结构化访谈中进一步研究。采用一种更加民族志化的方法，结合对现有文献的审查、参与者访谈和文件分析，确保对人权和军事文化研究进行全面分析。
