Springer - Reforming Civil-Military Relations in New Democracies

This academic text from Springer explores the complex task of reforming defense and military policy-making within newly democratized nations. It provides a comparative perspective that connects two major areas of study: the establishment of civilian control over armed forces and the factors that lead to military effectiveness. By examining how emerging democracies manage their security sectors, the book offers a unique look at how to balance democratic oversight with the need for a military capable of protecting citizens. This work is designed to help readers understand the roots and causes of both civilian control and security stability. It serves as a valuable resource for those studying the transition of political systems and the evolution of national defense structures in changing political landscapes.
