Summary: Great case studies on civ-mil relations in Europe!
Comment: After the Cold War came to an end, European countries in both East and West faced the common question of how their military organizations and those of their neighbors would respond to shifts in international relations affecting their economies, their perception of globalized threats, and cross-national security management. It is undisputed, for example, that in well-developed democratic societies, the challenge to the legitimacy of the military in society, the decreasing subjective apprehension of threat, and growing opposition to systems of universal conscription have been linked to gains in wealth and living standards. This volume seeks, through use of a comparative research framework commonly developed by the project's authors and editors, to assess the current state of civil-military relations in a number of countries in Central and Eastern Europe (Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, Russia) as well as the state of relations in several of their Western European counterparts (France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands). The country studies describe and analyze the interactions between the democratically elected governments and military forces in their specific national settings. The book ends with a final analysis of trends and lessons learned.

This book is an essential reference for anyone interested in the development of the security sector in the countries involved in the decade between the end of the Cold War and the turn of the century.
