Redefining the Modern Military (Paperback)

Paperback. This edited collection will expand upon and refine the ideas on the role of ethics and the profession in the 21st Century. The authors delve into whether Samuel Huntington and Morris Janowitz still ring true in the 21st century; whether training and continuing education play a role in defining a profession; and if there is a universal code of ethics required for the military as a profession. Redefining the Modern Military is unique in how it treats the subject of ethics and the military profession, as well as the types of writers it brings on board to address this topic. The book puts a significant emphasis on individual agency for military professionalism as opposed to broad organizational or cultural change. Such a review of these topics is necessary because the process of serious, intellectual self-reflection is a requirement--especially in a profession that involves life and death of people and nations. Examines the changing character of military professionalism and the role of ethics in the military. The authors delve into whether the concepts of Samuel Huntington, Morris Janowitz and Sir John Hackett still apply, how continuing education plays a role in defining a profession, and if a universal code of ethics is required for the military.
