Through military lenses. Perception of security threats and jointness in the Italian Air Force

4/18/2018

My latest article on Italian defense and military transformation has been published by Defense Studies: "Through military lenses. Perception of security threats and jointness in the Italian Air Force" (with Francesco N. Moro and Lorenzo Cicchi, early view).
Here the link.
Using data from an original survey conducted among ITAF captains (N = 286), the article focuses on servicemen’s attitudes towards the transformations of the global security environment and the changes occurring (and needed) within the Italian Air Force. After describing the “military view” on these topics, the article provides preliminary statistical evidence on the links between individual experiences, views, and change.
