This book offers the first systematic, comparative analysis of
military education and training in Europe within the context of the
post-Cold War security environment. Based on an analysis of
military education institutions in the UK, Germany, Finland,
Romania and the Baltic States, this book demonstrates that the
convergence of European military cultures since the end of the Cold
War is linked to changes in military education. The process of
convergence originates, at least in part, from the full or partial
adoption of a new concept by post-commissioning professional
military education institutions: the National Defence University.
Officers are now educated alongside civilians and public servants,
wherein they enjoy a socialization experience that is markedly
different from that of previous generations of European officers,
and is increasingly similar across national borders. In addition,
this book argues that with the control over the curricula and
graduation criteria increasingly set by civilian higher education
authorities, the European armed forces, while continuing to exist,
and hold significant (although declining) capabilities, stand to
lose their status as a profession in the traditional sense. This
book will be of much interest to students of military, European
security policy, European politics, and IR in general.
