DEVELOPMENT OF THE STUDY OF ‘CIVIL-MILITARY RELATIONS’ AND ‘DEMOCRATIC TRANSITION’ THEORIES
Keywords:
Civil-Military Relations, Democratic Transition, Modernization Theory, Military RoleAbstract
This academic article aims to examine the origin of concepts‘civil-military relations’ and ‘democratic transition’. By reviewing various literature related to the conceptual framework of the extent of the military’s control over political power. It was found that social conditions under different circumstances caused the different levels of military in political sector and civilian control. Which in turn affects to democratic transition. Thus, this approach, which is applied to the study of the military’s role in the political areas, would extensively build up the existing body of knowledge in the development of a stable and sustainable democracy.
