This collection of original articles addresses current policy
issues for manning the U.S. Naval Reserve. The expert contributors
represent several social science disciplines and approach their
subject from a variety of perspectives. Some evaluate existing
policy processes and make recommendations for their improvement.
Others reflect on the functions and dysfunctions of the process
from a theoretical standpoint. All, however, examine the
formulation and implementation of policy within the specific
context of contemporary changes in society. The specific issues
discussed include recruitment, manpower, training, mobilization
readiness, retention, organizational relevance, and societal
relevance. Also considered are the sociopsychological motivations
of individuals who join the reserves. The editors provide an
understanding of the participation of individuals in large-scale
organizations and how this relates to the problems of developing
realistic policies for manning the U.S. military forces as a whole.
They stress the increasing importance of the military reserves in a
society where conscription and large standing armies may no longer
be politically viable options. The volume also contains a current
and comprehensive bibliography of research monographs and technical
reports pertaining to this subject.
