Information Management, Collective Intelligence Within The Context Of Crisis Resolution - Going Global
Crisis Resolution from an international perspective is to be embedded into the problem of escalation and de-escalation of irregular war.
Experts during many decades of Cold War had been focusing in research on interstate wars. But Civil war today is the most common form of armed conflict and these "theater of wars" are concurrently going global. Therefore it is more than normal to implement those procedures of collective intelligence and knowledge processing into the broader domain of security management and crisis resolution. The international community and the international alliances are affected by their enforced austerity programs, this gave birth to the idea of "Pooling and Sharing" as a new paradigm to overcome looming calamities. It is useful to look at the cultural and psycho-sociological foundations of collective intelligence and knowledge management for to find incentives but also barriers for pooling and sharing in the military-civil security domain.
Collective intelligence and knowledge Management is based on accepted values:
- sharing
- responsibility
- respect
So Pooling and sharing of logistic resources may be successful in this respect, but what about the vast field of pooling and sharing of information, scientific ideas? The processing agencies very often are competitors in this field
