Orlando J Pérez

Civil-Military Relations in Post-Conflict Societies

Transforming the Role of the Military in Central America

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In this book, Orlando J. Pérez expertly examines the competing theories of civil-military relations in Central America to advance our understanding of the origins, consequences and persistence of militarism in Latin America. Combining both qualitative and quantitative data, Pérez bridges the gap between structural and cultural analyses for a more comprehensive understanding of the links between micro and macro level factors that influence civil-military relations and democratic governance.
