Abstract
The existing consensus in the democratisation and transition literature regarding civilian control of the military as a necessary condition for democracy is the normative starting point from where the book engages in an analysis of the theoretical relevance of civilian and moreover public control of armed forces for contemporary societies. It is revealing to compare the different understandings and the weight attributed to the concept of civilian control by both Western and Russian scholars. One of the challenges is to provide not only a coherent picture of the general state of research on civilian and public control in the Western, Anglo-American dominated, debates, but to take into account also the abundant Russian (-speaking) literature.
