The editors of Scientia Militaria are proud to present the first edition of 2010. The<br />new editors took over from Francois Vreÿ and a distinguished editorial team.<br />Scientia Militaria was privileged to have had a succession of highly qualified and<br />committed editors over the past decades. It is no small order to step into their shoes.<br />To our benefit, many of the early members are still around, playing an active role;<br />others are present as critical soundboards and sources of institutional memory and<br />knowledge. As editorial collective, we intend to keep Scientia Militaria as an<br />accredited journal on a high standard with contents of interest to military scientists,<br />military and strategic theorists, informed practitioners and civil society actors alike.<br />Scientia Militaria is now in its 41st year. The journal acts as a showcase and<br />theoretical platform for security, military, strategy and civil-military matters from<br />both the social and natural sciences. As an interdisciplinary journal, we would like to<br />keep this interface between various disciplines alive as part of the unending dialogue<br />on security in its broadest possible scope. Given our context, the journal will<br />continue to present a strong focus on the African continent in general and on<br />South(ern) Africa in particular. With this scope and focus, we trust that the journal<br />will provide solid and pleasurable reading to our readership.
