Invitation to International Crisis Management 2011 (ICM 2011) at the Swedish National Defence College (SNDC) 1.
Background / Aim and scope
ICM, first launched in 1996, is an international course event conducted by the SNDC in Stockholm. The aim of this senior/middle management course is for the participants to obtain an understanding of the need for interaction and co-operation among all the different actors who take part in managing a contemporary conflict/crisis and what might categorize keys to success. In addition, the course aims to give a United Nations perspective on conflict/crisis management. However, the course will also include valid experience from contributing nations, experts and other essential actors. The purpose of the lectures and syndicate work is to give an experienced picture of multinational operations in a complex context and to allow participants to interact and discuss, in smaller groups. The overall aim is to develop a deeper knowledge about how to overcome challenges provided in an UN-mandated mission, but also to give an understanding of the interdependence of the components involved in the operation, such as: political/military/civilian police components, media, non-governmental organisations, humanitarian and human rights agencies, as well as host nations. Each lecture will normally be followed by a “Q & A period”. ICM 2011 provides an excellent opportunity to meet military and civilian participants representing Governmental Organisations, Non-Governmental Organisations and International Organisations from all over the world and to work together in a stimulating environment.
