In der NATO herrscht beträchtliche Unsicherheit darüber, wie auf die bisher weitgehendsten sowjetischen Rüstungskontrollvorschläge reagiert werden soll. Die einen plädieren für eine Politik, die auf der Annahme beruht, eine drastische Reduzierung der militärischen Konfrontation in Europa stehe nun bevor, während andere Gorbatschows Vorschlägen bestenfalls taktischen Charakter zubilligen und davon ausgehen, daß die Konfrontation erst nach einem grundlegenden Wandel des sowjetischen Systems abgebaut werden könnte.

There is no dilemma that military symbolizes the power and thecapacity of the state to ensure the security of its boundaries, but also to influence thesecurity in wider frameworks.

This has resulted inreforms of the military potential and the interconnection of the civil and the militaryrelations at both the national and the international level. The current threats and risksagainst security additionally underline the necessity for such interconnection because themilitary culture significantly differs from the civilian culture in the approach to certainsecurity related issues.

The pervasiveness of military security might have been reconstructed at the aftermath of the Cold War but has remained ubiquitous despite scholarly argumentative prepositions debating its declination. This article uses secondary sources of data analysis by obtaining necessary information from textbooks, libraries, academic journals, online data and articles to examine the nexus between religion and violence leading to the renaissance of international terrorism after the attack of 9/11 that had propelled the involvement of military armed forces in domestic security of democratic governments constituting a debatable encumbrance to the principles of objective civilian control of the military entrenched in the liberal democracy and a justifiable argument for the potency of military security in the present liberal democratic states. It theoretically instantiates the emerging domestic role of the military armed forces signalizing the subjective control of civil-military relations in incongruousness to the objective control as expounded under military professionalism of Samuel Huntington.
