IPSA Research Committee on Armed Forces and Society (RC-24)

CALL FOR PAPERS, IPSA WORLD CONGRESS

JULY 12-16 2025 SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA

Sponsor: International Political Science Association (IPSA), Research Committee on Armed Forces and Society (RC-24)

Interdisciplinary research on the armed forces and civil society has focused on a variety of subjects, including civil-military relations, the role of the military in politics, and military organization and psychology. In the early years of the discipline, a great deal of research concentrated on explaining coups and military-led authoritarian regimes in the developing world. Later, in the 1980s and 1990s, with Third Wave democratizations underway, interest shifted to studying civilian control of the armed forces and security sector reform. the study of armed forces and society continues to be significant for scholars, analysts, and policy makers. Attention has shifted towards military attitudes, the military's role in autocratization, as well as peacekeeping, humanitarian, and other similar deployments around the world. Robust scholarship has led to the proliferation of monographs, edited volumes, and innumerable articles in such journals as Armed Forces & Society, the Journal of Political & Military Sociology, and other publications geared towards disseminating research within the field.
