Abstract

Since the substantive development in the field of European military research in the last decade, the Journal of Veteran Studies has seen different approaches to examine veteran- related issues. Although attempts to understand veteran-related issues from national perspectives have been made, wider contextual and cross-national perspectives on Eurocentric veteran-related issues are missing. The present special issue addresses this gap in knowledge by focussing on the European diversity in military traditions and cultural variations that underpin the characteristics and social status of the military, its members, and former members. The special issue consisting of 10 articles in both English and contributors' native language, contributes to our understanding of the military, veterans, and veteran-related issues in European nation states, but also highlights how services and care for veterans may be improved by future collaborations between European nation states.
