In the post-Cold War era, European militaries are engaged in an ongoing adaptation which is challenging relations between armed forces and the societies that they serve. This book offers an innovative conceptual framework to critically evaluate contemporary civil-military relations across the continent of Europe. It analyzes eight key issues in armed forces and society relations, to explore the scale and intensity of these changes.

ANTHONY FORSTER is Professor of Politics and International Relations and Director of the Governance Research Centre at the Department of Politics, University of Bristol, UK. He has published widely on the European foreign and security policy and on comparative European civil-military relations.
