Abstract
This study has been about finding the answers to two key questions:
-
1.
How is civil–military cooperation conceived of within a state and how did it come to be understood this way?
-
2.
How does the actual practice of civil–military cooperation change the way that it is understood?

My edited volume on civil–military cooperation highlights the diversity in national experience, but does not control for a single conceptual or method-ological approach. See Christopher Ankersen, ed.

Such generalizations are sometimes referred to as moderatum generalizations. For a further discussion, see M. Williams, “Interpretation and Generalization,” Sociology. 34.2 (2000): 215.
