This is a book about relations between soldiers, politicians, and civilians in nations striving to become more democratic. It is broadly comparative, theoretically informed, and empirically rich. It should be of great interest to those who study or want to learn more about the armed forces, civil-military affairs, defense, democracy, or Latin America.

This book demonstrates through country case studies that, contrary to received wisdom, Latin American militaries can contribute productively, but under select conditions, to non-traditional missions of internal security, disaster relief, and social programs.
