As a toolkit for the issues and challenges of diversity and inclusion in defence and security organizations, this state-of-the-art book allows leaders, managers, practitioners, and personnel to examine international perspectives on the current research, best practices, lessons learned, and strategies for promoting greater teamwork, collaboration, trust, cohesion, and organizational performance. Authors discuss critical areas such as (a) gender, ethnic, and cultural diversity; (b) international case studies that employ diverse and inclusive management practices; (c) inclusive, team-based, and transformational leadership; (d) evidence-based approaches to understanding best practices and lessons learned in diversity and inclusion; and (e) methods, innovative strategies, programs, and recommendations to help promote greater team engagement, resilience, and adaptability in defence and security. This book moves beyond theoretical discussions and provides practical approaches and recommendations to generate effective problem-solving, innovation, and creativity across organizations. By embracing team diversity and inclusion practices, organizations can better leverage diverse knowledge, skills, and experiences to help build a sustainable culture where people work together to achieve effective solutions to real-world problems.

Barbara has over 25 years of scientific research experience, specializing in psychosocial research for the advancement of defence and security, and science and technology. Her research areas include diversity and inclusion, harassment and discrimination, gender integration, racism, ethnic intolerance and inclusion in multinational military contexts, and teamwork and collaboration in defence and scientific communities. She leads high priority departmental and international research projects, including a NATO team for four years under the Human Factors and Medicine (HFM) Research Task Group (RTG) 301, where she produced a team Technical Report on ethnic intolerance and ethnic inclusion in multinational military settings, titled Military Diversity in Multinational Defence Environments: From Ethnic Intolerance to Inclusion. Recently, Barbara was awarded the 2023 Deputy Minister/Chief of Defence Staff Organizational Culture Award from DND for her research on diversity and inclusion in the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF).

Standard Business Terms and customer information
I. Standard business terms
§ 1 Basic provisions
(1) The following terms and conditions of business apply for all contracts concluded with us as the supplier (preigu GmbH & Co. KG) via the websites AbeBooks and/or ZVAB. Unless otherwise agreed, the inclusion of your own terms and conditions is explicitly rejected.
(2) A ‘consumer' in the sense of the following regulations is every natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities. The term ‘businessman' refers to every natural person, legal person or legally responsible partnership that concludes a legal transaction in pursuance of his/its independent professional or commercial activity.
§ 2 Conclusion of the contract
(1) The subject-matter of the contract is the selling of products .
(2) If an article is placed by us with AbeBooks or ZVAB, the activation of the page on AbeBooks or ZVAB shall involve the binding offer to conclude a contract under the terms and conditions contained in the article page.
(3) The contract shall become effective via the online shopping cart system as follows:
The products intended for purchase are moved to the "shopping cart". You can select the "Shopping Cart" using the appropriate buttons on the navigation bar and make changes there at any time.
After calling up the "Checkout" page and entering the required personal data and payment and shipping conditions, all order information is then displayed again on the order summary page.
Before submitting the order, you have the ability once more to review or change any information here (you may also use the "back" button on the Internet browser), or to cancel the purchase.
By clicking the "Buy now" button to submit the order, you declare your legally binding acceptance of the order which makes the contract effective.
(4) The execution of the order and the sending of all the details necessitated by the conclusion of the contract take place via e-mail, in a partially-automated manner. Consequently, you have to ensure that the e-mail address that you have deposited with us is the correct one, and that the receipt of the respective e-mails is guaranteed. In particular, you have to ensure that the respective e-mails are not blocked by a SPAM filter.

(2) As a consumer, you are requested to promptly check the product for completeness, visible defects and transport damage as soon as it is delivered, and promptly disclose your complaints to us and the shipping company in writing. Even if you do not comply with this request, it shall have no effect on your legal warranty claims.
(3) If a characteristic of the goods deviates from the objective requirements, the deviation shall only be deemed to be agreed if you were informed of the same by us before submitting the contractual declaration and the deviation was expressly and separately agreed between the contracting parties.
§ 5 Choice of law, place of fulfilment, jurisdiction
(1) German law shall apply. This choice of law only applies to customers if it does not result in the revocation of the protection guaranteed by the mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which the respective customer's usual place of residence is located (benefit-of-the-doubt principle).
(2) If you are not a consumer, but a businessman, a legal entity under public law or an institutional fund governed by public law, our place of business is the place of jurisdiction as well as the place of fulfilment for all services that follow from the business relationships that exist with us. The same condition applies to situations in which you are not associated with a general place of jurisdiction in Germany or the EU, as well as situations in which the place of residence or the usual place of residence is not known at the time of commencement of proceedings.
