Political and Military Sociology continues a mission of
publishing cutting-edge research on some of the most important
issues in civil-military relations. In this inaugural volume of the
new annual publication, Won-Taek Kang tackles the issue of
nostalgia for Park Chung Hee in South Korea, and analyzes why many
South Koreans today appear to miss the deceased dictator. Ryan
Kelty, Todd Woodruff, and David R. Segal focus on the role identity
of U.S. combat soldiers as they balance competing demands made by
the military profession, on the one hand, and solders' family and
personal relations, on the other.
D. Michael Lindsay considers the impact that social contact has
on military and civilian participants in the elite White House
Fellowship program, and analyzes how social contact affects the
confidence in the U.S. military that civilian fellows later show.
Analyzing letters to the editor of a local newspaper, Chris M.
Messer and Thomas E. Shriver consider how community activists
attempt to frame the issue of environmental degradation in the
context of a local dispute over the storage of radioactive waste.
David Pion-Berlin, Antonio Uges, Jr., and Diego Esparza analyze the
recent emergence of websites run by Latin American militaries, and
consider why these militaries choose to advertise their activities
on the Internet.
Political and Military Sociology also includes reviews of
important new books in civil-military relations, political science,
and military sociology. Included here are discussions of books
about U.S. war crimes in Vietnam, civil-military relations in
contemporary China, the structural transformation of the U.S. Army,
Japanese security policy, American treatment of POWs, the Bonus
March, and the GI Bill.
The series will be of broad interest to scholars of
civil-military relations, political science, and political
sociology. It will continue the tradition of peer review that has
guaranteed it a place of importance among research publications in
this area.
