Diversity may be a twentieth-century term, but the United States military faces increasingly complex challenges as it moves through the twenty-first century. James B. Stewart examines how the armed forces attempts to resolve current equal opportunity issues through research from scholars using varied models and methodologies adapted from civilian institutions. The work divides into five sections: Contemporary Approaches to Managing Diversity, Diversifying Equity in Evaluation and Promotion, Gender Integration and Sexual Harassment, Military Discipline and Race, and Where Do We Go from Here, which suggests future research directions. Stewart's accessible analysis connects military diversity management to civilian sector parallels. The book provides insights, practical methodologies, and management guidelines for commanders, civilian executives, and human resource practitioners who handle equal opportunity programs. This social research tool addresses areas of practical concern for military and civilian organizations alike.
