Military Sociology
Race Relations Within the US Military
Sociologists now often say that the US military is a model of good race relations. Although there is no denying progress made in military race relations, especially since establishment of the all-volunteer force, this review challenges that comfortable claim as research done over the past two decades supports it only in part. Instead, we conclude that disparities in military allocations of goods and burdens sometimes disadvantage racial minoritie…

Theories of Democratic Civil-Military Relations
This article reviews civil-military relations theory applied to mature democratic states. It assumes that the important theoretical problem is how to maintain a military that sustains and protects democratic values, showing how the classic and still influential theories of Huntington and Janowitz were rooted, respectively, in liberal and civic republican theories of democracy and, as a result, neither adequately solved this problem. The article t…
The Military Obligation of Citizens Since Vietnam
On the eve of the Persian Gulf War, as President George Bush worked to win public support for his policy to liberate Kuwait, he made it plain that his war plans included no plan to restore the military draft. He would call up the National Guard and Army Reserve. By taking these steps, Bush distanced himself as far as possible from the manpower policies pursued in 1965 by President Lyndon Johnson. After deciding to escalate the war in Vietnam, Joh…
What Justifies Peacekeeping
The Citizen Soldier and Democratic Societies
This paper reviews and criticizes the argument that citizens should take active responsibility for and be willing to sacrifice their life to establish and protect a liberal democratic social order. The argument is faulted for assuming that the key for good democracy is to get people to accept their responsibilities, in particular, their responsibility to be citizen soldiers. It is at least as important to ask how the service of citizen soldiers i…
Public Support for Peacekeeping in Lebanon and Somalia
Among the many lessons that the U.S. military and political leaders drew from the Vietnam War, one was that the military could not deploy effectively or for very long without public support. Another was that public support for military deployments had declined quite predictably (one is tempted to say invariantly) in response to the accumulation of casualties.1 In principle, it is nothing but wise counsel that rulers ignore the deadly consequences…

Recent Trends in Civil-Military Relations
Students of civil military relations commonly assume that military power should do the bidding of and bc hcld accountablc to civil power. They do not believe a society - whether ancient or modem, Eastcm or Western, developed or developing - can bc a good society if military power rcigns above ail others. They do not deny the importance of military power. In this imperfect world, they accept that no good society can fail to providc for its defense…

Ironically, while the military has become a more inclusive institution formin…

Morris Janowitz and the Origins of Sociological Research on Armed Forces and Society
Despite early recognition of the importance of military institutions for understanding social organization and social change, sociology established no strong research tradition to study the military until after World War II. This paper explores the origins of this subfield by focusing on the pioneering contributions of Morris Janowitz. Relying on a comprehensive review of primary source documents, it provides a history of the first twenty years o…
On Social Organization and Social Control
In the four decades following the end of World War II, Morris Janowitz (1919-88) published major works in macrosociology, urban and political sociology, race and ethnic relations, and the study of armed forces and society. His research was deeply rooted in the traditions of philosophical pragmatism and the Chicago school of sociology, influences which led him to reject grand theories and mechanistic explanations of social life. Yet he remained co…

Debating the Draft In America
Military conscription has always been a hot issue in American politics. Debates about conscription, however, do not always revolve around the same issues. In this paper, arguments for and against the draft offered in World War II are compared with arguments offered during the Vietnam War. An important difference between these arguments is documented: while argument pro and con during the Second World War was based on assessments of the draft's im…

The Origins of Federal Securities Regulation
Aiming to increase our understanding of how the power of financiers is constrained by social controls, this paper examines the capacity of “market failures” and “group interest” theories to explain the origins of federal securities regulation. The problem is to explain (1) what motivated government officials to seek regulation, (2) what determined the content of regulatory proposals, and (3) why the proposals were successfully enacted. While both…

The Liberal Future in America
The contributors to this collection approach the confused and paradoxical state of modern liberalism intending to clarify some new tendencies in liberal policy and philosophy. Prominent political scientists and political philosophers reflect on the difficulty of defining liberalism in a complex world for which it has neither lost its relevance nor proven its adequacy. They speculate on religion, family, economics, foreign policy, and other issues…

A Pragmatic Approach to Macrosocial Theory
Morris Janowitz has been a major contributor to sociological theory and research over the last live decades. The range of his empirical work and the logic of his theory-based on philosophical pragmatism and opposed to 'grand' formulations- obscure the magnitude of his contribution to social theory, despite his pervasive influence on research in particular subfields. This paper provides a brief overview of the logic and substance of Janowitz's con…
