Democratizing Communist Militaries

"Marybeth Peterson Ulrich shows us what the attitudes of the military leaders in Russia and the Czech Republic are toward the new democratic governments and how we might encourage the development of politically neutral militaries in these states. Ulrich suggests that norms of military professionalism must change if the armies in countries making a transition from communist rule are to become strong supporters of the democratic state.".

"Ulrich also explores NATO and U.S. programs to promote democratization in these militaries and suggests changes in these programs."--BOOK JACKET.
