SİLAHLI KUVVETLERDEKİ ROL YÖNELİMSEL DEĞİŞİKLİKLER: MOSKOS'UN KURUM-MESLEK MODELİNE YÖNELİK BİR DEĞERLENDİRME

The 20th century witnessed an era in which a quick transition occurred from the application of draft to the application of the all-volunteer force in the armed forces throughout the world. This trend still continues today. The transition in armies from draft to the all-volunteer force also has caused the institutional military understanding to evolve into an occupational military understanding. In this regard, the “Institutional-Occupational Model,” in which Charles C. Moskos claims that the armed forces has been in a gradual transition from an institutional model to an occupational model, is such as to shed light on the rapid changes occurring in the armed forces. In this respect, this study addresses the Institutional-Occupational Model, which might also shed light on the recent changes in the role orientations of the Armed Forces of many countries, examines the model’s current applications and criticisms towards it, and provides an overall evaluation of the model.
