Abstract

In the age of nation states, the creation of any armed force is a political act. Prior to this age, private initiative spontaneously created armed forces to satisfy a short-term demand for military force and disbanded them once they had accomplished their mission. Today, those who have political power in the state create a (or maintain an existing) armed forces organization that exists as such. Without this institutional legitimization, armed forces could not emerge or continue to exist.
