This is the first comparative, cross-national study of the
participation of women in the armed forces of NATO countries. Along
side an analysis of this key topic stands a critique of existing
theoretical models and the proposal of a revised analytical
framework. Unlike previous works this new study employs
mixed-methodological research design combining quantitative and
qualitative data - a large N-analysis based on general policies and
statistical information concerning every country in the sample with
more in-depth case-studies. This volume includes original empirical
data regarding the presence of women in the armed forces of NATO
countries, proposes an index of 'gender inclusiveness' and assesses
the factors that affect women's military roles. The book also
presents two new key case studies - Portugal and the Netherlands -
based on both documentary sources and in-depth interviews of both
men and women officers in the two countries. This book will be of
great interest to all students and scholars of strategic studies,
gender and women studies and military history.
