The New Australian Military Sociology cover

Civil-military relations have changed over time with respect to changing demographics, new domestic and international responsibilities, Industry-Defence cooperation, women in the armed forces and contemporary veteran wellbeing.The New Australian Military Sociology aims to provide an antipodean view to theorising civil-military entanglements and uses Australia’s unique geographic, political and cultural context to serve as a case study for other countries.

“This comprehensive and wide-ranging study offers an in-depth analysis of Australian civil-military relations. This insightful book also demonstrates how the tools of sociology can be effectively applied to better understand the social dynamics of military life in the contemporary world.”• Siniša Malešević, Professor of Sociology, University College, Dublin and CNAM Paris

“This book points to a critical gap in the discipline of military sociology … the authors have done a timely job in presenting a picture of the Australian military and civil-military relations”.• Barış Ateş, Turkish National Defence University

“This is a well-organized volume with a coherent structure, cogent arguments in each chapter and clarity in writing. It provides valuable insights and new perspectives which advance the field and inform current scholarly and professional thinking. It has relevance for both academic theory building and practitioner applications.”• Alan Okros, Canadian Forces College
