Civil-Military Relations in Post-Conflict Societies: Transforming the Role of the Military in Central America: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Civil-Military Relations in Post-Conflict Societies: Transforming the Role of the Military in Central America" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

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. Prez 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, Prez 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, Prez 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.

The military for decades have played an oversized role on the Central American political stage. Yet, the ending of the Cold War and the resolution of longstanding guerrilla wars have not ended the role of the armies, as they find themselves in a new role of controlling violence linked to narcotrafficking and gangs. In this brilliantly argued and richly detailed volume, we have for the first time an expansive, region- wide reanalysis of the role of the military in this chronically volatile region. Policy- makers, students, and citizens alike need to put this volume at the top of their must- read lists.
Mitchell A. Seligson, Vanderbilt University, USA
Prezs book is a cogent and timely contribution to our understanding of the militarys prominent role in Central America. His mixed- methods approach provides added depth that will be a model for other scholars to follow.
Gregory Weeks, UNC Charlotte, USA
Orlando Prez breaks new ground in the study of Latin Amer ican militaries in democracy on two major fronts: he has produced a richly detailed comparative analysis of the regions key Central Amer ican cases, and he has based that analysis in solid, accessibly presented empirical evidence of beliefs held by both publics and military offcers. In addition to case chapters on El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua that capture nuanced differences within the region, Prez unpacks important paradoxes that follow from new patterns of violence and crime in the region. So, for instance, he shows that support for democracy correlates with trust in the military, though military worldviews seem to have changed little since the authoritarian period and civil wars that preceded democratization. A must read for anyone interested in understanding the ingredients of democratic governance, security sector reform, and state- society relations in Central America.

In the course of researching and writing this book I have accumulated many debts which are difficult to repay but essential to acknowledge. First and foremost I must thank my family, for without their constant love, support, and encouragement I could never have completed the manuscript. My wife Leyda is patient, loving, and supportive. I owe her more than I could ever hope to repay. My children Rogelio and Alexandra have shown great patience as I travel to do research or attend meetings. I appreciate so much their willingness to put up with my often crazy schedule.
