Abstract

The author describes the models of the professionalization of armed forces in today’s world. The paper highlights three basic topics: 1. similarities and dissimilarities among the patterns of professionalization i.e. a possible emergence of a uniform, broad European model and its potential similarity with the existing Western models, 2. the ways in which various factors shape the patterns of professionalization in Central and Eastern Europe and the determination of their relative importance and role, 3. the influence of Western politics on the professionalization of armed forces.
