Description

This volume contributes to the comparative study of military conscription.

Issues discussed include: a conceptual clarification of conscription as distinguished from volunteerism and militia service; the emergence of the citizen soldier model; patterns of anti-militarism before World War I; conscription in third world armies; gender-issues in relation to military service; the present phenomenon of child soldiers in Africa; the decline of conscript armies in Western Europe.

A review section discusses the contribution of rational choice theory to the analysis of conscription into military forces.
