The author portrays the new Western army as a market army, distancing itself from the citizen army, and envisions a continuum between these extreme types. The market army emulates market practices in order to adapt to modern strategic, e...

Drawing on attitudinal and behavioral data from a survey of English local government officials, the findings underscore how bureaucrats with different interests and motivations sort themselves into job types. Their preferences dri...
