The main focus lies on public control of armed forces and the question why civilians should have a vigilant eye on the military institution as well as the civilian authority that legitimizes the use of force. Based on the example of conscription and recruitment as an intersection between the military and society, this study engages in an analysis of institutional change in the politico-military field in post-Soviet Russia. Taking a critical stance on conventional military sociology, the book shifts the focus away from the exclusive power relationship between political and military elites in the context of national security. Instead, it takes into consideration human and societal security, i.e. the needs and demands of individuals and groups at the grassroots level, affected by the military and the prevailing security situation in Russia. The book addresses readers with an interest in civil-military relations, contemporary Russian affairs and social movement theories.Politics and warRussia—Politics and governmentSecurity, InternationalPolitical theoryRussia—HistoryEurope, Eastern—HistoryPublic policyMilitary and Defence Studieshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912080Russian and Post-Soviet Politicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911170International Security Studieshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912120Political Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911010Russian, Soviet, and East European Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/717090Public Policyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911060Politics and war.Russia—Politics and government.Security, International.Political theory.Russia—History.Europe, Eastern—History.Public policy.Military and Defence Studies.Russian and Post-Soviet Politics.International Security Studies.Political Theory.Russian, Soviet, and East European History.Public Policy.355Douglas Nadjaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut897279BOOK9910255296703321Public Control of Armed Forces in the Russian Federation2004642UNINA
