Angelika Dörfler-Dierken is project manager for the subject area “Innere Führung – Ethics – Military Chaplaincy” in research field IV “Security Policy and Armed Forces” at the Center for Military History and Social Sciences of the German Armed Forces (Zentrum für Militärgeschichte und Sozialwissenschaften der Bundeswehr, ZMSBw). From an ethical, historical and social science perspective, she deals with current issues that are of concern to soldiers – with regard to their professional self-image, their integration into society, and their implementation of the guiding principle of the “citizen in uniform” in a democratic society and culture. She also investigates issues that result from the contradiction between the use of military force and German soldiers’ commitment to serving peace in the world. Dörfler-­Dierken teaches at the University of Potsdam and at the University of Hamburg. She has numerous publications to her name.
