The essays in this collected volume deal with the phenomenon of military mobilisation by civilians outside regular armies. The objects of study are militias, civil defence groups and nationalist or working class ‘combat groups’ that in conventional military or political history are usually represented as less effective and provisional than professional or conscripted armies. In contrast, the thesis of this book starts from the assumption that a comparative analysis of these “irregular” mobilisations can reveal new perspectives about the respective societies since the establishment of a militia or free corps (as opposed to regular or professional armies) was based less on standard procedures or constituencies than on actual power constellations, collective ideas of political order, and political culture. In this volume 15 German and two English essays present a basis for such a comparative analysis of ‘informal militia groups’ in Europe from the Renaissance to the present day.>
