Democratization and civilian control in Asia
Democratization and civilian control in Asia[electronic resource] /Aurel Croissant...[et al.]. - Basingstoke :Palgrave Macmillan,2013. - 1 online resource.

PART I. Conceptualizing Civilian Control oft he Military -- Explaining Civilian Control of the Military in New Democracies -- PART II. South Korea. Purges and Presidential Prerogatives -- Taiwan. From Martial Law to Civilian Control -- Indonesia. The Democratization of Personal Control -- Bangladesh. From Militarized Politics to Politicized Military -- The Philippines. Civil-Military Symbiosis under the Veneer of Civilian Rule -- Thailand. Civilian Control Deterred -- Pakistan. Military-Guided Transitions to Elected Government and the Failure of Civilian Control -- PART III. Conclusion. Contours, Causes, and Consequences of Civilian Control.

Civilian control of the military is intricately linked to democratic rule. The authors analyse civil-military relations in new democracies of East, Southeast and South Asian nations, beginning by proposing a new conceptual and theoretical framework to identify the status of civilian control in newly established democracies and to explain changes over time. Based on this framework, they then trace the interrelated development of civil-military relations and democratic institutions in Bangladesh, Indonesia, Pakistan, the Philippines, South Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand. By comparing the insights gained from the case studies, they then identify patterns and differences in the relationship between civilian control over the military and democratic quality and consolidation. While establishing civilian control of the military is a necessary condition for a functioning democracy, it requires prudent strategic action on the part of the civilian decision-makers to remove the military from positions of power and make it follow their orders.
