Abstract
This chapter explores cross-country patterns and national variations in European military transformation. The case studies of European military transformation in this book have elaborated the understanding of change in military organizations and furnished a number of insights of a practical nature. European militaries may use a common language of “transformation,” but the actual content, or meaning, of these concepts and how they are used may not be similar. It is also noted that national interests, domestic political climate and budgets, and military service interests significantly affected military transformation. Internal factors led to the adaptation of the norms of military transformation. Furthermore, determining factors will probably exercise a firm effect on whether any military change attempted achieves realization and whether the product of the process succeeds in effectively dealing with the aims that motivated military change in the first place.
