Since the suicide terrorist attacks of September Eleven security
issues have become more prominent again. There is also an increased
interest in the military since the military was and still is seen
as a major instrument in the so-called, 'war on terror'. The
anthology focuses on the most recent developments in the military
sphere and tries to assess the impact of September Eleven and the
'new military missions' on the armed forces in terms of, inter
alia, conflict management capabilities, social and psychological
developments inside military units, recruitment and civil-military
relations of the armed forces in the wake of September 11th.
The contributions to this anthology represent the most important
and pertinent papers presented at an international meeting
organised by the RC 01: Armed Forces & Conflict Resolotion
within the International Sociological Association (ISA) which took
place in Ankara, Turkey, in July 2004. They focus on the most
recent developments in the military sphere and try to assess the
impact of September Eleven and the 'new military missions' on the
armed forces in terms of, inter alia, conflict management
capabilities, social and psychological developments inside military
units, recruitment and civil-military relations.
The book is composed by seven chapters. First comes a chapter
devoted to conflict resolution. The second chapter deals with the
international military activities and their impact on and
consequences inside the military institution. The third chapter is
devoted to presenting the first results of an empirical,
cross-national research project on the divide between the armed
forces and their parent societies and on the cultural dimensions
ofthis gap. Families and women in war and in armed forces are the
subject of the following chapter. The representation of the
interest of military personnel on the agenda is dealt with in the
fifth chapter. Several national case studies constitute the
contents of the sixth chaper which is particularly focussing on
third world countries. The last chapter entails papers which deal
with Turkey and its armed forces in various ways.
