Abstract

ABSTRACT The article investigates the development and circulation of knowledge on civil–military co-operation (CIMIC) between different training sites and foreign military operations. It explores contexts in which the understandings of the military personnel’s own role vis-a-vis the civilian population as well as knowledge on CIMIC more generally are created. Based on the interviews with CIMIC officers in the UNIFIL (United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon) and members of the CIMIC unit of the Czech Armed Forces, the article argues that knowledge-production in civil–military cooperation supports primarily the creation of roles influenced by counterinsurgency thinking.
