Defense and strategic studies traditionally have paid little
attention to the structure and administrative context within which
policy decisions are made. This volume fills that existing gap,
focusing on the principal actors in the defense decisionmaking
field, their relationships to one another, and the statutory and
legal provisions governing the spheres of responsibility and
competence among military, civil, and paramilitary institutions.
The book is designed to assist scholars and policymakers in
comparative analyses of complex organizations and institutions and
to identify similarities and differences among the central
administrative structures of the major industrial states. Toward
this end, each contributor concentrates on his or her own
transnational analysis. The authors are all respected experts on
defense issues in their own countries, and their analyses conform
to a common framework developed to compare central organizations of
defense around the world and to define what states can learn from
each other's experiences and what developments can be expected.
