DESCRIPTION
In South Asia, developing, and totalitarian countries alike, the armed forces are powerful political organizations that play key roles in domestic politics. The literature on civilian-military relations provides few comparative examinations of the military's political role. Each chapter traces the historical background of the civil-military relations in the country, identifies and analyzes the processes the military uses to exert political influence, evaluates the success and results of the military's political role, and projects future developments. This volume examines civil-military relations in general and nonmilitary functions in the service of society and democracy in particular in six different nations. This book features the chapters that explore the importance of culture and identity with respect to civil-military relations, national security, and nation building.
