Early European sociologists found war, peace and the effects of
both on social development to be important matters for the emerging
discipline to explain and understand. Curiously, these issues faded
from the sociological agenda after World War I and were not again
much studied by sociologists until World War II and the long Cold
War that followed. Since then to the present, studies of military
sociology have grown in number and scope. Military sociology is now
a well-established and respected subfield within sociology. To
survey the field this collection is organized around four major
themes: (1) military organization, (2) civil-military relations,
(3) the experience of war, and (4) the use and control of force.
Taking the origins of military sociology as a starting point:
Volume One examines major trends in military organization, the
increased diversity of military forces and the military profession.
Volume Two considers the military's relationships with the larger
society. Sociologists examine how the military is woven into the
fabric of society whether as an object of social control or as a
representative institution garnering public support. Volume Three
is concerned with the experience of war, whether the experience is
direct, gained (for example) as a soldier in combat, or indirect,
when it is mediated by social constructions of language and other
social symbols. Volume Four studies the concept of force, and the
varying intensities of conflict across the spectrum of force. It
looks at the effects of war on state formation, the problems posed
by chronic war, and the prospects for peacekeeping.
