This book examines the conditions under which new democracies
succeed or fail in establishing firm and lasting civilian control
of the military. David Kuehn and Aurel Croissant introduce a
multi-dimensional conceptual framework to evaluate the degree of
civilian control in new democracies and to trace developments over
time. The theory of civilian control in new democracies that they
propose integrates rationalist, structuralist, and institutionalist
arguments into a coherent model to explain when, how, and through
which causal mechanism new democracies succeed or fail in
establishing and sustaining civilian control over the military.
This theory is tested on an original dataset on civilian control
over the military in 66 countries that have made the transition
from authoritarian to democratic rule at least once in the period
from 1974 to 2010. The study traces the effects of different
degrees of civilian control on the survival and democratic quality
of third wave democracies, combining large-N statistical analyses
with detailed case study narratives of several countries. The book
establishes a comprehensive understanding of the conditions and
processes under which third wave democracies succeeded or failed in
establishing firm and lasting civilian control of the military-and
its consequences for the survival and quality of the new democratic
structures, processes, and practices.
