How do we understand the functions of militaries of democratic societies? How good soldiers are made, how they behave when posted overseas, the issue of gender and the increased use of military beyond their core functions all demand a closer academic examination.
This edited collection brings together work by exciting new scholars as well as established academics, and examines the identity and functions of the New Zealand Army from a range of perspectives. Drawing on anthropology, political studies, international relations, development studies, law, and defence and security studies, it provides a multi-faceted view of one military organisation, and helps further our understanding of the character and the challenges of military personnel and institutions in the twenty-first century.
Dr Bethan Greener is Associate Professor in the Politics programme at Massey University.

Her first book, The New International Policing, was published in 2009, and she co-authored Internal Security and Statebuilding: Aligning Agencies and Functions, which was published in 2015. Her research has also appeared in journals, such as International Peacekeeping, Asia Pacific Viewpoint, Journal of Intervention and Statebuilding, International Relations, Policing and Society, Alternatives and Global Change, Peace & Security, and has been funded by a number of sources, including the Royal Society of New Zealand's Marsden Fund and the Australian Civil Military Centre.
