OUTLINE Questions Historical Perspective Self-Assumed Roles Missions and Coups Types of Military Regimes Approval Ratings Reflections on Central America Impacts of 9/11?

QUESTIONS What roles for the military in democratic (or democratizing) settings? What level (or type) of political power? Why accept any reduction in political influence? Issue: not necessarily coups, but civilian- military relations

ARMED FORCES OVER TIME Wars of independence ( ) One element in triangle of power—church, economic elite, and military Path to upward mobility and political influence Duty: maintenance of internal order Impact of professionalization? Saber-rattling against neighboring countries, but without real war (especially in 20 th century)

Military Folklore: Forging Fatherlands Patterns of Participation Incidence of Coups Missions and Regimes Wars against Subversion The Democrats’ Dilemma: To Amnesty or Not? Argentina Chile

Military Regimes: Key Factors 1.Power structure: personalistic or collegial? 2.Institutional role of military in decision-making 3.Ideological orientation 4.Social base of civilian support

Prominent Military Regimes in Latin America Reformist/Inclusionary: Argentina [judgment call here] Ecuador , Peru Reactionary/Exclusionary: Argentina , Brazil Chile Guatemala Uruguay

Modes of Interaction: The Armed Forces and Democracy Military control: political subordination of nominally civilian governments to effective military control Military tutelage: participation of armed forces in general policy processes and military oversight of civilian authorities Conditional military subordination: abstention by the armed forces from overt intervention in political questions, while reserving the “right” to intervene in the name of national interests and security Civilian control: subordination of armed forces in political and policy terms to civilian authorities, usually including a civilian minister of defense

Levels of Trust in the Military, ca. 2000: Ecuador60% Venezuela54 Brazil53 Chile46 Uruguay44 Central America26 Note: “A lot” + “some”

IMPACTS OF 9/11? Involvement in war on drugs, and now… Emphasis on internal security Focus on borders From anti-subversion to anti-terrorism Renewal of U.S. support?
