Recenzii

'[A] well-conceived and tightly edited manuscript that adds significantly to our understanding of the military in an increasingly important area of the world. The conceptual scheme lends coherence to the substantive chapters, written by recognized experts on the countries in question. The book offers a needed corrective to the notion that NATO standards and notions of professionalism will dominate modern militaries. It will be of interest to those interested in post-communist systems and civil-military relations.' - Professor John Allen Williams, Loyola University Chicago, Executive Director, Inter-University Seminar on Armed Forces and Society
