内容説明

Since the mid-1980s, many countries in Latin America have been struggling to consolidate recent democratic gains. "Democracy vs. National Security" treats one of the key problems in that process: establishing civilian control over the armed forces. The book focuses on five countries - Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, Chile, and Peru - that have had similar experiences with military governments and similar transitions to democracy. Avoiding the usual country-by-country approach, Professor Zagorski adopts a directly comparative framework. Chapters on the contemporary Latin American military as an institution and strategies for effecting civilian control are followed by analyses of critical issues in civil-military relations. Each "critical issue" chapter dissects a key area of conflict between the armed forces and civilian governments and includes a case study illustrating the dynamics of civil-military politics. A comprehensive overview and analysis, the book provides not only a view of military influence in Latin America, but also a basis for evaluating future prospects for democratic consolidation.
