The papers in this collection ask: Do Arctic actors perceive conditions and challenges as changing, justifying larger claims to rapid security transformations? Or do involved actors rather experience continuity in everyday military strategic planning and policy making etc.? This collection seeks to investigate strategic transformation from the perspective of Arctic states. The aim of this special issue is twofold: first, it seeks to investigate current strategic thinking with the aim of assessing claims to change: Are we witnessing smaller adjustments to existing practice, or should we expect essentially new operating strategies; second, it seeks to clarify the effect of an overall changing security environment on local strategic environments.

In this special issue of Scandinavian Journal of Military Studies, we wish to explore how command is conceptualized, organized and practiced in the midst of rapid technological, organizational, and geopolitical transformations, allowing for an interdisciplinary exploration of the different and often competing interests and agendas that co-shape the conduct of contemporary warfare.
We seek rigorous conceptual and empirical contributions that advance our understanding of military command and help us understand better when, why, and how command is organized and approached and with what consequences. We welcome approaches from different levels of analysis as well as from different disciplines. We also encourage submissions of various methods, including case studies, field studies, theory building, ethnographies, qualitative comparative analyses and archival research.
Deadline: 1 March 2022
Guest editors: Anne Roelsgaard Obling, Katrine Nørgaard and Anders Klitmøller
