This new edition of the volume is presented on the wave of the
success which had its first edition (2003). It is entirely updated
to the current situation of the disciplines covered, and expanded
with particular regard to the new missions, that have become the
main challenge for the armed forces in these first decades of the
new millennium, with new insights to technological development
toward so-called cyborg warriors, new forms of leadership and
changes in soldier's identity and organisational culture. It is
compiled of documents coming from various researchers at
universities around the world as well as military officers devoted
to the sector of study. Covered in this volume is a historical
excursus of studies prior to contemporary research, interpretive
models and theoretical approaches developed specifically for this
topic, civic-military relations including issues surrounding
democratic control of the armed forces, military culture,
professional training, conditions and problems of minorities in the
armed forces, an examination of the structural change within the
military over the years including new duties and functions
following the Cold War.
