Civil Affairs Association Professional Publications Advisory Board
Photo above is the late Dr. Kurt Müller announcing the idea of a publications advisory board and research library at the 2017 Civil Affairs Symposium in Chicago. A self-less servant of the Civil Affair Regiment, he worked tirelessly to establish this capability for the Civil Affairs Association. We honor him by continuing this effort in his memory.
Purpose. Founded by the late Dr. Kurt E. Mueller, Col., U.S. Army Civil Affairs (Ret.), the Civil Affairs Association Professional Publications Advisory Board comprises scholars and policy and publications experts to assist civil affairs professionals in publishing papers and articles in established professional journals to achieve the following outcomes:
• Promote individual CA officer and NCO professional development and Civil Affairs Regiment intellectual capitalization through the provision of advisory services, research resources, and platforms to that end
• Strengthen and refine strategic narratives to tell the civil affairs story to audiences within and beyond the Regiment who have impact on the development and future of civil affairs
• Mainstream the discussion of civil affairs in larger explorations of national strategy, security, and defense policy and operations, interagency and interorganizational partnering, in addition to joint and service force development.
Research Library. As a service to Association members, the Board also provides a Research Library to conduct research on academic or professional papers and professional journal articles. Association members are most welcome to suggest additional references (including previous papers and articles they have published) by sending the published version, in pdf format, to the Board at papers@civilaffairsassoc.org
Board. Board members are available to advise and assist CA professionals in conceptualization, preparation, and publication of academic or professional papers and articles. See which Board member(s) may be of the greatest help and request their assistance by emailing the Board.
