This survey replicates the survey of civil-military relations created by the Program on Civil-Military Relations in Arab States (CMRAS) at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. For the original methodology, see www.tawazun.net. Respondents are serving or retired military members, or those who have studied the military of a country extensively.

The Tawazun Survey is divided into five domains related to civil-military relations: Governance, Military Professionalism, Social Perceptions & Cultural Attitudes, Defense Finances & Economics, and Civilian Competences. Each domain is a separate survey, located here: https://www.uptoninstitute.org/tawazun-survey. This Military Professionalism domain survey contains 32 questions. IF A QUESTION IS NOT RELEVANT TO YOUR CHOSEN COUNTRY'S MILITARY FORCES, YOU MAY SKIP IT, but only those who respond to the bulk of the questions receive a free copy of a military science fiction novel or a military fiction anthology.

This survey collects emails to protect data quality and to offer respondents free gifts of military fiction.
