From the abstract on the publisher's website:

The judicial accountability and independence of military courts have always been hugely debated, especially insofar as they frequently have links with other powers (mainly the Executive) and are often composed of the military personnel. Through the lens of comparative constitutional law, this chapter explores whether, and to what extent, these issues characterise the military justice systems of major advanced Western democracies. Through the analysis of the Italian case study, the chapter suggests some bolsters that could be introduced in the existing models to ensure that military courts – which are called to adjudicate very complex and sensitive issues – comply with the basic principles of the Judiciary that must characterise all the legal systems based on the rule of law.
