The anthology is a result of the research activities carried out in the Ergomas’ Working Group Public Opinion, Mass Media and the Military. The content is divided into three parts: Part one comprises texts that explore the attitudes of the public and the mass media toward international peacekeeping, crisis management and humanitarian operations and missions, especially toward the military operation International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan (ISAF). Part two considers several salient issues regarding the question of ‘casualty tolerance’ in contemporary societies, the image and the missions of the armed forces, the public’s perceptions of the relationship between political and military systems, and an explanation for the apparent contradiction between a relatively high level of public confidence in the military on one hand and a relatively high level of indifference expressed by the same public on the other hand. In the third part, the authors examine the mass media coverage of wars and explore the role of the media in the political sphere, especially in the question of civilian democratic control of the armed forces. The achievement is extremely important due to the fact that integrates efforts of researchers from several European countries but also from Asia and North America.

COPRA’s main objective is to answer both questions in a way that will constitute the optimal balance between security, privacy, public acceptability, mobility and costs, while providing ideas on how to increase flexibility and resilience of the whole aviation system against threats.
