font-weight:normal;mso-bidi-font-weight:bold" lang="EN-US">Work with 
broad implications
for theories of comparative strategic behavior and civil-military 
relations,
Societies, and Military Power uses the long history of the armies of 
India as a
basis for analyzing whether the character of a given society affects the
 amount
of military power that can be generated by the armies that emerge from 
that
society. By examining the changing relationship between ruling elites in
 the
Indian subcontinent and their armed forces, the book shows that 
divisions within
society are mirrored within the military, even within the contemporary
professional military. Stephen Peter Rosen explores the proposition that
cultural explanations don^t sufficiently account for changes in military
 power,
whereas social structure does. He suggests also that the dynamics of
civil-military relations in a non-Western setting are not explicable 
without
social-structural insight. He concludes that the comparative study of 
strategic behavior and military organization has lacked a sound 
foundation, which the
social-structural explanation offered in this book begins to provide.</span></strong></p>
