Guarding the Guardians (eBook, ePUB)

Civil-Military Relations and Democratic Governance in Africa

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book reviews the intrusion of the armed forces in African politics by examining contemporary armies and their impact on society. It revisits the various explanations of military takeovers in Africa and disentangles the notion of the military as a progressive force. The study argues the necessity of new civil-military relations in Africa, calling for a democratic oversight of the security forces.
