Since the Arab Spring, militaries have received renewed attention
regarding their intervention into politics of Middle Eastern and
South Asian states. This book examines the factors which influence
military intervention and withdrawal from politics-namely, United
States and Soviet/Russian economic and military aid-and how this
affects democratic transitions and consolidation. The militaries of
Algeria, Egypt, Pakistan, and Turkey, have used nationalism to
justify their interventions into politics while ensuring that
withdrawal would only occur if national identity were protected.
This book examines important states in the Islamic World which have
experienced similar historical trajectories, briefly experimented
with democracy, and had the military become a dominant institution
in the state. All four countries differ in their levels of ethnic
conflict, importance placed on the country by the international
community, and internal security concerns. The common result of
international influence on political development, however, is that
the military will take a keener interest in politics and be more
reluctant to disengage.
