دانلود کتاب Redefining the Modern Military: The Intersection of Profession and Ethics

This edited collection will expand upon and refine the ideas on the role of ethics and the profession in the 21st Century. The authors delve into whether Samuel Huntington and Morris Janowitz still ring true in the 21st century; whether training and continuing education play a role in defining a profession; and if there is a universal code of ethics required for the military as a profession.The main audience for this edited work will be educational institutions, both civilian and military. Instructors, in and out of uniform, continuously work to understand the role of ethics in the military, as well as how to better develop individuals in this often lethal profession. The faculty and students in our nation's military academies, ROTC programs, officer commissioning programs, staff schools, and war colleges will use this book for their studies as they pursue professional military education and develop their own professionalism. Additionally, those that are interested in the military and the development of professionals--both in uniform and out--will find this work informative.This work is unique in how it treats the subject of ethics and the military profession, as well as the types of writers it brings on board to address this topic. Discussions of this kind are usually a chapter (at most) in a larger work and from the perspective of that author alone. The book also puts a significant emphasis on individual agency for military professionalism as opposed to broad organizational or cultural change. Such a review of these topics is necessary because the process of serious, intellectual self reflection is a requirement - especially in a profession that involves life and death...of people and nations.
