The document discusses threats facing civilian security from 2010-2020 and visions for the future role of the Dutch military as a protection force. It identifies four main threats: institutional deficit, marginalization, asymmetric conflicts, and war economies. It discusses the narrow definition of human security and importance of recognizing national sovereignty when deploying military forces. It envisions the Dutch military developing gendarmerie-like capacities to operate between police and military roles, with existing firepower but a focus on protecting civilians and perseverance. It describes the Pax-it program to debate these issues through masterclasses, field trips, and meetings with politicians and the military.
