Soldiers, Politicians, and Civilians

Reforming Civil-Military Relations in Democratic Latin America

by David Pion-Berlin, Rafael Martínez ...

Are interactions between soldiers, politicians, and civilians improving? Every nation has to come to grips with achieving a more enduring harmony between government, the armed forces, and society if it aspires to strengthen its democracy. While there is an abundance of studies on civil-military affairs, few examine all three of these actors, let alone establish any standards with which to assess ... Read more
