Reviews

“The analysis of forms of control of the military in these two regimes is novel and makes a useful contribution to the existing literature. This book will be of interest to researchers concerned with the nature of civil-military relations in non-democratic and democratising regimes.” (Thomas O’Brien, Journal of Contemporary European Studies, February, 2016)
