This paper examines the history of civil military relations in Mexico and Argentina in an attempt to understand why Mexico was able to subordinate its military following the fall of the Porfírian military regime, while Argentina experienced decades of military intervention into the civilian sphere. It argues that strong governmental and political institutions in Mexico were the key to subordinating the Mexican military to civilian control, while patterns of populist political movements in Argentina hampered the formation of strong governmental institutions that would have enabled the subordination of the military to civilian control.

O objetivo desta dissertação é descrever a disputa territorial entre a República Popular da China (RPC) e a República da China (RC) pelo controle de Taiwan e, analisar as implicações políticas e militares dessa disputa para a relação triangular entre Estados Unidos – RPC – RC. O primeiro capítulo descreve a política interna da RC de 1987 a 2004, abordando o processo de democratização do regime e as características dos novos partidos políticos. O segundo descreve as novas relações políticas entre Taipei e Pequim durante a primeira metade dos anos noventa, quando o governo da RC começou a afastar-se da idéia de reunificação com a China Continental. O capítulo seguinte analisa a crise ocorrida no Estreito de Taiwan em 1995-96, quando a China realizou massivos exercícios militares para forçar o governo norte-americano a mudar sua política diante da RC e, para coagir o eleitorado de Taiwan a votar “contra a independência” nas eleições de 1995 e 1996. O último capítulo analisa o impacto do ataque terrorista de 11 de setembro sobre as relações entre Washington – Pequim – Taipei e, descreve um novo padrão de relacionamento da Casa Branca com as duas partes. / The aim of this dissertation is to describe the territorial dispute between the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and the Republic of China (ROC) for the control of Taiwan, and to analyze the political and military implications of this dispute for the triangular relation among United States – PRC – ROC. The first chapter describes the internal politics of the ROC from 1987 to 2004, approaching the process of democratization of the regime and the features of the new political parties. The second describes the new political relations between Taipei and Beijing during the first half of the nineties years, when the government of the ROC began to go away from the idea of reunification with the Mainland China. The next chapter analyzes the crisis occurred on the Taiwan Strait in 1995-96, when the China did massive military exercises to force American government to change its policy toward ROC, and to coerce the electorate of Taiwan to vote “against independence” on the elections of 1995 and 1996. The last chapter analyzes the impact of the terrorist attack of September 11 over the relations among Washington – Beijing – Taipei and describes a new pattern of relationship of the White House with the two parts.

A inovação introduzida pela instituição do Ministério da Defesa não é desprezível, podendo representar profundas alterações tanto de ordem política como diplomáticas, administrativas, estratégicas e operacionais, que necessitam seriamente ser avaliadas. Buscar compreender como a democracia entra como uma variável interveniente no desenho da defesa nacional no quadro pós-1985 via análise da criação do Ministério da Defesa é a tarefa que pretendemos levar a cabo nesta Tese, sem perder de vista que o controle civil pleno dos militares é condição necessária, ainda que insuficiente, àconsolidação eaprofundamento do regime democrático brasileiro / Abstract: The aim of this study is to analyze in what measure the military reform released by the Fernando Henrique Cardoso's government (1995-2002), "imposed" by endogenous and exogenous changes, may be understood as part of a bigger effort on redraw up the State structure and seek a military subordination still missed in the transition process post authoritarian era in Brazil. The innovation introduced by the creation of the Defense Ministry is not despicable, indeed it represents deep changes in ali spheres: political, diplomatic, management, strategic and operational, ali of them needed to be evaluated. In this study we intend also to analyze the creation of the Defense Ministry by trying to comprehend how democracy appears as an intervening actor in the National Defense's structure post-1985. We do this being sure not to forget that, in spite of not being itself sufficient, the complete civilian's military control is essential to the consolidation and deepen of the Brazilian emocratic regime / Doutorado / Doutor em Ciência Política

The July military coup attempt in 2016 forced the Turkish nation to decide, whether it would follow examples of Republic's past and support the coup, or whether it would turn away from the army, thus giving up on the traditional perception of the army as a guardian of secularism and values on which Atatürk built the Republic. This work analyses how the Turkish civil-military relations changed, what factors influenced this change and how the Turkish society currently perceives the army. The research focused on four interventions staged by the army in the 20th century, as well as on the July coup attempt. Military coup is understood as a specific feature of the Turkish army and it is examined based on the theory of praetorianism; the coups in Turkey are then being presented as interventions, that were repeated not only based on army's determination to protect stability and the Republic as such, but also based on the nation's acceptance of the interventions which did perceive the army as a last resort. Furthermore, the work presents reasons, which played a crucial role in the transformation of civil-military relations in the beginning of 21st century, and it compares, how the perception of army by the Turkish nation was changing before and after the July coup attempt.

Approved for public release; distribution in unlimited. / Civil Military Operations (CMO) has often been blamed for the politicization of the armed forces and a loss of civilian control. This thesis confronts this traditional approach and argues that CMO need not lead to these outcomes. It introduces democratic civilian control of the armed forces, a well-established military mission, and civilian and military expertise as the basic requirements for the application of CMO. If the requirements are fulfilled, a multiplier effects starts giving legitimacy to the government, consolidating the democratic process and increasing civilian control over the armed forces. This thesis examines Ecuador as a case study. Ecuador fulfills partially the requirements for the application of CMO. The State's structure allows democratic civilian control. There is a well-established mission: the north frontier of Ecuador has become a "gap" in the national security system that demands the assistance of the armed forces. But there is lack of civilian and military expertise in the application of CMO. The demand of CMO in the north frontier can be the perfect scenario for training and education in Civil Military Affairs, fulfilling the requirement of expertise and thus allowing the application of CMO in Ecuador without risking the democratic regime. / Civilian, National Congress, Ecuador

Approved for public release; distribution in unlimited. / A noticeable civil-military gap has emerged in American society where the public does not fully understand the mission of the military, and the military does not understand the expectations and demands by the public in a liberal democracy. Maintaining a good rapport with the media and not fostering a civil-military gap will allow the public to embrace 'good news' stories that are introduced by the military as well as accept the times when a negative story breaks the news. Cooperating with the media by allowing appropriate access to the military is vital to effective information operations. This research identifies instances of failure in military-media relationships by reviewing the historical relationship between the media and military in wartime as well as two examples in the last 15 years in which the Navy has mishandled newsworthy events-the 1989 explosion aboard the USS IOWA and the 2001 collision between the submarine, USS GREENEVILLE and the Japanese fishing trawler, Ehime Maru. The purpose of this project is to determine and ultimately to mitigate military bias against the media. / Lieutenant, United States Navy
