CGC researcher, Rikke Haugegaard, publishes new article
CGC researcher Rikke Haugegaard has recently published an article in the 10th volume of the academic journal Conflict and Society.
Haugegaard’s article is titled “The Power of Water: How Naval Special Warfare Operators Cultivate the Danger Zone” and builds on fieldwork with the Danish Frogman Corps and the Ghana Navy Special Boat Squadron.
Haugegaard explores how naval special warfare operators train to manage the interplay between uncertainty and control. Thus, the learned ability to enter “a state of calmness” during extreme situations makes these operators an efficient political tool able to conduct high-risk military operations worldwide. This research contributes to the discussion on secondary socialisation and professional edgework.
