Occasional Paper ; The very existence of a ministry of defense (MOD) is an important basic indicator of the overall situation of civil-military relations in a country. Although some of these ministries are but hollow shells with no power whatsoever, others have assumed increasingly important roles as catalysts and platforms in consolidating democratic civil – military relations. This paper situates the founding and development of ministries of defense in historical context, namely the current era of democratization at the end of the Cold War; explains why they are created; and identifies conditions and actions required for the ministries to fulfill major roles and responsibilities in achieving effective and efficient defense while also ensuring democratic civilian control. ; The Center for Civil-Military Relations

Occasional Paper #4 ; During the months of economic hardship, riots, rapes, disappearances, military schemes, and peaceful protests that led to the resignation of Suharto from his three-decade presidency of Indonesia, opposition groups coalesced around the primary theme of "reformasi" (reform) and a singular goal of dethroning the dictator. On May 21, 1998, the latter goal was accomplished when Suharto ceded power to his hand-picked vice president, B.J. Habibie. ; The Center for Civil-Military Relations

After a transition away from authoritarianism, one of the central challenges facing new democratic elites is redefining civil-military relations. Among other things, this means writing or revising constitutions and laws that regulate the roles, rights, and obligations of the military so that they conform to the basic democratic principles of accountability to democratically elected leaders and respect for civil liberties.1 Under the preceding non-democratic regimes, militaries were often accustomed to acting in ways that violated these principles, by operating autonomously within the defense arena, playing an important role in non-defense areas, and participating in regime violations of human rights.2 Although writing new laws designed to modify this behavior will not automatically lead to a change, it is a necessary first step. ; The Center for Civil-Military Relations, Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, California.

Recent events in Peru, Venezuela, Argentina, and Colombia demonstrate very clearly that democracy remains unconsolidated in Latin America. The instability brought about by massive corruption, populism, economic chaos and guerrilla warfare also indicates that the sustainability of democracy rests on a number of factors. In this paper I apply a theory of military behavior to the 1945 coup d'etat in Brazil that deposed the dictator Getulio Vargas.

During the period of 9 –11 October, CCMR took the lead in defining the content of and participating in two seminars, in Bogota, on the theme of Military Strategy and Campaign Planning. The seminars were sponsored by the U.S. embassy and the Colombian Ministry of Defense. The presentations by the U.S participants were shared between CCMR and SOUTHCOM. The CCMR team consisted of Tom Bruneau, Director, and Dick Goetze, Program Manager for the CCMR program in Colombia. The AmEmbassy requested that Dick Goetze serve as Moderator for both days of the seminar. The seminars were supported for the most part by TCA funds. The official presenters and the participants were from the highest levels of the relevant U.S. and Colombian government agencies. The timing of the seminars was especially important as the Colombian government is presently completing its national security strategy and working on its national military strategy. The seminars were acclaimed by all of those involved as a huge success, and follow-on seminars and conferences are now being planned.

Includes bibliographical references. ; The aim of this dissertation is to analyse the phenomenon of civil supremacy, and in particular how it evolves and is sustained over time. A theoretical case study of Namibia will be undertaken to achieve this objective, with three traditions of civil supremacy, namely colonial, revolutionary/insurgent and democratic (as well as the relevant mechanisms and techniques), being the focus. This dissertation seeks to determine how these traditions emerge and develop over time. Basically, civil supremacy rests on a set of ideas, institutions and behaviours. Together these practices limit the possibility of excessive military intervention in political affairs and provide a system that endows civilian officials with the authority and the machinery to exercise supremacy in military affairs.
