VOJNA PROFESIJA, KORPORATIVNE ORIJENTACIJE I TRANSFORMACIJA CIVILNO-VOJNIH ODNOSA
MILITARY PROFESSION, CORPORATIVE ORIENTATIONS AND THE TRANSFORMATION OF CIVIL-MILITARY RELATIONS

Summary/Abstract: Based on the discussion of the models of military profession and corporatism, the paper attempts to indicate a hypothetical framework for the understanding of officer corps professionalization and forming of its corporative orientation in the Croatian war and post-war context. The paper also points out the specific qualities of the process of professionalization (war and normative-value context, situational and subsequential professionalization character, organizational restructuring and "civilianization" impacts) as well as the officer corps corporate orientation forming process (trends of "routinization"). Increasing military professionalism and the officer corps dominant corporative orientation change contribute to the creation of the structural premises for the change of the "subjective" model of civilian control of the armed forces, which, if unchanged, may become an obstacle for the achievement of defense and societal imperatives in the post-war conditions.
