Abstract

Overview Changes in the world political climate, the integration of forms of warfare with new security challenges, and other developments in the military field have also changed the importance, content, and sphere of the discipline of military sociology. Influenced by these developments, the discipline of military sociology has also shaped the education process by equating the military with society. Rather than introducing the discipline of military sociology, this study examines its components in training within the educational system, focusing on military sociology and the educational process to identify steps that can contribute to the development and institutionalization of epistemological knowledge. This study compares the components of military sociology training, and its scope includes topics such as professional military service, the relationship between the military and other institutions, the emerging role of the military, and civil–military relations, on a country-by-country basis. A comparison was made using primary sources of educational programs in Türkiye and educational practices in other countries. Military sociology training in Türkiye has partially spread to civilian and military educational institutions since the 2000s.
