Description

This book draws on detailed studies of military regimes round the world to discover how and why military authorities feel obliged to intervene in civilian politics. It explores the form and function of their political response. The analysis begins by defining the nature of military governments and the significance of Right-wing ideas and practice in their policies. It then examines the different conceptions of operations within a consistent ideological framework, why soldiers develop Right-wing beliefs and how the military develop political functions. The factors that lead to a military intervention in government are then discussed and a model is developed and tested from empirical evidence to identify the preconditions for military political actions in general and why they are likely to be Right-wing in particular. The book concludes by studying from comparative data the performance of military governments in power, the factors that lead to their departure, the forms of succession and the consequences, conflicts and problems the period of military rule leave for civilian governments.
