This book is a report of cross-national research on the
civil-military cultural differences in democratic societies,
particularly centred on the attitudes of national elites, here
considered as being mainly composed of professionals.
The research studies the question: What are the differences between
the values, opinions and attitudes of military officers and those
of professionals belonging to other categories? What is the effect
of these differences on society in each country, and on the
national security sector? What are the current trends of this
gap?
Researchers investigated a sample of cadets at military academies
and their generational peers at civilian universities (future
elites). An expert survey was also employed to sample present
elites, both civilian and military.
The report is divided into three parts: the first describes the
methodological aspect of the research; the second part, taking a
comparative international approach, analyses the results of the
research with respect to the main survey themes; the third part
continues the volume by examining specific national themes in the
context of the results of the cross-national comparison developed
in the preceding part.
In a final chapter, the data of the expert survey has been compared
with the data that emerged from the survey of future elites, to
glean elements for a general summary and evaluation on the cultural
gap.
*The first cross-national research outside the U.S. on civil/
military cultural differences.
*A significant comparison of the attitudes of present and future
elites on security matter.
*A deep understanding of national specificities of the 13
participating countries on the militaryissues
