It addresses the gender, racial, and political forces that shaped these policies.This book focuses on military conscription in 22 countries that represent the world's regions. The purpose is to shed light on the history, politics, and main events that led to the choice of conscription or professional military forces in the countries under study. While we acknowledge that practical and technological developments played major roles in this choice, we also understand that racial and gender relations, social group and political regime dynamics, regional influences, and international forces also affected military composition and relations to the rest of the society.Recruiting and enlistmentDraftHistoryMilitary service, VoluntaryHistoryArmed ForcesMinoritiesRecruiting and enlistment.DraftHistory.Military service, VoluntaryHistory.Armed ForcesMinorities.355.2/2363Simon Rita J(Rita James),1931-2013.904912Abdel-Moneim Mohamed Alaa1854873MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910969849303321A handbook of military conscription and composition the world over4452735UNINA
