Military Disengagement from Politics

First published in 1988, Military Disengagement from Politics explores the reasons and conditions for military withdrawal from politics. It gives an in-depth analysis of specific grounds and circumstances of a representative list of countries whose military intervened, ruled, and eventually withdrew allowing for either full-scale civilian rule, or a more circumscribed set up in which the armed forces retain varying degrees of control in the governing process.

The book provides a comparative and cross-cultural examination of eight countries covering a wide region of the world. It offers a carefully chosen array of case studies representing Asia, Africa, Europe, the Middle East, and Central and South America. This volume is a must read for students and researchers of political science.
