Changing prevailing attitudes in society are leading to new formulations about the relationship between the individual and the state in industrialized countries. The emerging belief systems and social trends underpinning them are collectively described using the term 'postmodern.' This article explores the dynamics of the postmodern society and their likely impact on military service. After introducing the general characteristics of postmodernity, it will be necessary to develop a framework for assessing its effects on society and culture. Finally, the implications of these developments are assessed as they apply to military service in the twenty-first century
