Giuseppe Caforio Editor

Handbook of the Sociology of the Military Second Edition

Handbooks of Sociology and Social Research Series editor John DeLamater University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI, USA

Distinctively sociological approaches are highlighted by means of explicit comparison to perspectives characterizing related disciplines such as psychology, psychiatry, and anthropology. These seminal works seek to record where the field has been, to identify its current location and to plot its course for the future.
