Dale R. Herspring's latest book Civil-Military Relations and Shared Responsibility: A Four-nation Study evidently builds on a sound theoretical basis and strong methodology the author has developed through years of scholarly research. It elaborates and finalizes the conceptual framework that can be traced in his previous works, such as Russian Civil-Military Relations , 1 The Pentagon and the Presidency: Civil-military Relations from FDR to George W. Bush , 2 The Kremlin and the High Command:...

The unique relations between the Israeli-armed forces and the local hi-tech industry have been identified as a strong explanatory variable for the Israeli hi-tech boom. This article highlights the role of the military as a socialization institution in those relations. We identify how the accumulation of "military capital" during military in service contributes to soldiers as veterans and employees in the hi-tech sector. Military service brings with it professional training, social ties, and...

This project examines the sophisticated cultural toolkit deployed by contemporary US military advisors to successfully build productive relationships with foreign security forces, advance the advising mission, and survive combat. This project's data stems from a three-part multi-method, including a survey conducted in Iraq; a document analysis; and interviews. This article focuses on numerous subthemes that coalesce to vividly divulge an intriguing story about how contemporary advisors build...

As part of a multi-article presentation about national and social resilience to the military practitioner community, the article initially embeds the concept of resilience into a concept of change. From this grounding discussion, the profiling of national/social resilience is presented as a useful part of building an improved intelligence process of holistic change forecasting. Next, as a better way of seeing and evaluating how different nations and societies will uniquely respond to crises,...

Recent radical changes in the application of military power and service patterns have triggered demands for a change in military identity. This article aimed to examine the ability of military identity to predict perceived military performance and attitudes beyond the contributions of personality traits and Hardiness in Norwegian military academy cadets (N = 117). Military skills, general military competence, and organizational commitment were measured by self-report. Military Identity, in...

This article criticizes recent attempts to explain creative thought as an off-shoot of syntactic mechanisms, such as recursion in language, and proposes an alternative. It agrees with the syntax-centric hypothesis on two fronts. First, it is claimed that a supramodal notion of creative thought, or what paleoarcheologists call human innovativeness, emerged in the human evolution in a sudden quantum transformation that occurred between 200,000-50,000 years ago. Second, it is argued that human...

Yun (2005) suggested an averaging method to resolve the identification problem in detailed decompositions. Since then, detailed decomposition techniques have been widely discussed. This paper shows that the averaging method may not answer the identification problem. The method is built on unrealistic distributional constraints on a set of dummy variables and is sensitive to both the number of groups and the method of grouping. As an alternative, a weighted averaging method is suggested that...
