The interaction between military and civilian courts, the political
power that legal prerogatives can provide to the armed forces, and
the difficult process civilian politicians face in reforming
military justice remain glaringly under-examined, despite their
implications for the quality and survival of democracy. This book
breaks new ground by providing a theoretically rich, global
examination of the operation and reform of military courts in
democratic countries. Drawing on a newly created dataset of 120
countries over more than two centuries, it presents the first
comprehensive picture of the evolution of military justice across
states and over time. Combined with qualitative historical case
studies of Colombia, Portugal, Indonesia, Fiji, Brazil, Pakistan,
and the United States, the book presents a new framework for
understanding how civilian actors are able to gain or lose legal
control of the armed forces. The book's findings have important
lessons for scholars and policymakers working in the fields of
democracy, civil-military relations, human rights, and the rule of
law.
