DCAF Working Paper Series constitutes studies designed to promote reflection and discussion on civil-military relations and issues of democratic control over defense and security sector. A new focus on domestic defense, or homeland security, for example, is drawing the United States military into homeland security missions and closer relations and coordination with other government agencies. In the US, there is much resistance among the military to homeland security functions (critical infrastructure protection and control of borders), which it sees as more properly a function for law enforcement services or the National Guard, and a desire to continue focusing its efforts on warfighting.
