New Australian Military Sociology - Antipodean Perspectives

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.
