Early European sociologists found war, peace, and the effects of both on social development to be important matters for the emerging discipline to explain and understand. Curiously, these issues faded from the sociological agenda after World War I and were not again much studied by sociologists until World War II and the long Cold War that followed. Since then to the present, studies of military sociology have grown in number and scope. Military sociology is now a well-established and respected subfield within sociology. To survey the field this collection is organized around four major themes: (1) military organization, (2) civil-military relations, (3) the experience of war, and (4) the use and control of force.

Burk, James: - James Burk is a professor of Sociology at Texas A&M University. His current research interests include civil-military relations, democratic citizenship, and the ethics of humanitarian interventions.

Segal, David R.: - David R. Segal is Professor Emeritus of Sociology, Distinguished Scholar-Teacher, and Founding Director of the Center for Research on Military Organization at the University of Maryland. He is a past editor of Armed Forces & Society and a past president of the Inter-University Seminar on Armed Forces and Society. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Chicago, and spent the first decade of his academic career at the University of Michigan. He directed the sociological research program at the Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences during the transition from conscription to an all-recruited army. He has testified to several congressional committees and served as a consultant to the White House and to several federal agencies. He continues to conduct research and publish on military personnel and organizational issues. He serves as a Selective Service board member and as a member of the Army Education Advisory Committee.
