This book examines two sides of civil-military relations in
developing countries. One is the place of civil-military relations
within a state's political and economic systems; the other is the
role of the military on a state's maintenance of peace and
stability. The book thus proposes that the function of soldiers is
not only to defend and deter, but also to develop. The chapters
provide a comprehensive analysis of civil-military relationship
with comparative cases on Botswana, China, El Salvador, Honduras,
Guatemala, India, Indonesia, Nicaragua, Nigeria, Pakistan, and The
Arab Spring Countries of the Middle East including Bahrain, Sudan,
Iraq, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Tunisia, Yemen and Libya. Each
chapter analyzes the historical, cultural and political factors
that shape the direction of the man on the white horse (military
elite) and the politician. In doing so, this book reveals the
potential impact of the nature of civil military relations on
democratization, political and economic development, and on
regional/international security. Dhirendra Vajpeyi and Glen Segell
discuss and critique the current models and literature on
civil-military relations. The innovative framework and careful
choice of case studies, presented in a jargon-free, accessible
style, makes this book attractive to scholars and students of civil
military relations and development studies, as well as
policymakers.

This book, written in honor of Arno Tausch, presents cutting-edge
research on globalization, development, and global values.
Internationally renowned authors cover topics such as global
economic and political cycles, global values, and support for
terrorism. Over the last five decades, the Austrian
political scientist Arno Tausch was a pioneer in studies on
globalization, development and global values. This collection of
essays takes up the issues dealt with by Tausch and presents
perspectives for the 21st Century. Throughout his work, Tausch
applied quantitative methods to study the fundamental issues of the
global political economy and the global political system, like
dependency, economic and political cycles, and global values, based
on a rigorous study of available social scientific data, like the
World Values Survey and the Arab Barometer.
This book has both empirical and analytic innovative components.
This books thesis is that military-industrial relations in Britain
in the 1950's have had an influence on civil-military relations and
foreign policy in Britain in the 1980's. Influence is defined as
the set of consequences of military-industrial relations in
successfully implementing two Cabinet defined goals. These were the
goal for the rationalization of the airframe and aero-engine
sectors of the defense-industries and the goal for trans-national
collaborative weapons procurement with NATO allies. The influence
of military-industrial relations is viewed through the process of
weapons procurement of a Royal Air Force replacement of the
Canberra bomber through the TSR.2 Jaguar and Tornado aircraft. The
empirical innovative component is in the discovery of new
information to show this military-industrial influence. Previously
unused industrial and government sources were consulted and are
quoted. This information is presented in eight Chapters
chronologically from 1951 to 1989. The analytic innovative
component is in the Conclusions of the book deductively from the
empirical evidence. In proving the military-industrial influence
empirically, existing notions and theories on military-industrial
relations and civil-military relations are overturned.
