The Soldier and the Changing State: Building Democratic Armies in Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Americas book by Zoltan D. Barany

Looking at how armies supportive of democracy are built, this title argues that the military is the important institution that states maintain, for without military elites who support democratic governance, democracy cannot be consolidated. It demonstrates that building democratic armies is the quintessential task of democratizing regimes. Published By Princeton University Press on 2012-09-16
