This compendium on Europe's military situation is written by
leading analysts of military studies representing every major
nation of Europe. Also included are three overview chapters that
set the tone for this volume. These chapters - Martin Shaw on the
evolution of a "common risk" society, Christopher Dandeker on the
military in democratic societies, and Wilfried von Bredow on the
re-nationalization of military strategy - provide an introduction
to the work.Although the Cold War is now two decades removed from
Europe, the challenges of transition to new defense systems and
institutional structures still confront those who plan the future
for military establishments. The country studies as well as the
final analysis of the trends and probable future developments in
Europe should be required reading throughout the national security
structure for politicians and decision makers seeking to understand
the dilemmas facing European militaries and the societies they
defend.The chapters cover a wide range of nations. Jean Callaghan,
Christo Domoztov, and Valery Ratchcev examine the Bulgarian armed
forces after the 1997 elections and Marie Vlachova and Stefan
Sarvas review civil-military relations in the Czech Republic. Janos
Szabo studies the defense sector in Hungary. Adriana Stanescu sees
Romania as a case of delayed modernization. Vladimir Rukavishnikov
studies the military in post-communist Russia. Paul Klein and
Jurgen Kuhlmann review the German armed forces in the context of a
peace dividend. Bernard Boene and Didier Danet consider France and
the post draft situation. Marina Nuciari and Giuseppe Caforio
consider the Italian military in a democratic context. Jan van der
Meulen and his colleagues look upon the Netherlands military as a
case study in post-modernization. The final contribution summarizes
lessons learned in assessing the contemporary civil-military
complex.
