Volunteering for Victory? Military Service Systems and Battlefield Effectiveness
My presentation will discuss ongoing research on the relationship between military service systems and battlefield effectiveness. Battlefield effectiveness refers to a military organization’s proficiency in basic tactics and complex operations. Scholars have proposed explanations for battlefield effectiveness stemming from variation in regime type, the structure of political institutions, national culture, civil-military relations, level of economic development, and organizational structure and practices. The role of a state’s military service system as an explanation for battlefield effectiveness—whether it relies on conscription or volunteers to fill the ranks of its military organizations—has received only cursory attention. The few quantitative tests of service system influence that have been undertaken fail to account for within case variation in service systems. While it is widely assumed that armies built through volunteer service systems are likely to demonstrate higher levels of combat proficiency than those built through conscription, this proposition still requires rigorous testing.
3:40-4:00 Comments and Discussion
All are welcome. We’re looking forward to seeing you! If you have any question please reach out to Abu Bakkar Siddique (asiddi@gmu.edu) or Neslihan Kaptanoglu (nkaptano@gmu.edu).
