Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua, and Honduras are four Spanish
speaking countries in Central America that possess uniformed
military institutions. These four countries represent different
approaches to reforms of civil-military relations, and embody
varying degrees of success in both institutional democratization
and the managing of security forces. In this book, Orlando J. Perez
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. Divided into four parts, Perez begins by proposing a
theoretical framework for analyzing civil-military relations,
including an analysis of how U.S. foreign and military policy
affects the establishment of stable civilian supremacy over the
armed forces. Part Two examines the institutional and legal
structures under which civil-military relations are carried out
revealing in Part Three the reorientation of the missions and roles
performed by the armed forces in each country. The concluding part
analyzes the role beliefs of members of the military and public
opinion about the armed forces in relation to other institutions.
Combining both qualitative and quantitative data, Perez 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.
