Автор:David Cortright, Max Watts Год: [не указано] Издание: [не указанo] Страниц: [не указано] ISBN: 0313276269 Based on more than one hundred interviews and group discussions with low-ranking soldiers, conscripts, and volunteers, this volume provides a unique perspective on the history, and analyzes current status, of soldier unions and resistance movements in twenty countries. Cortright and Watts trace the changing profile of military protest in both professional and volunteer armies and, from the new data collected, formulate the Threshold Theory of Military Resistance--a hypothesis which correlates the nature of each army's protest activities with its national economic status. This volume offers military sociologists, scholars, social scientists, soldiers, and veterans fresh insight into the dynamics of protest within the military world-wide.
