The book offers timely research to understand the rocky road to overcome the civil-military tension of the 1990s and the challenges presented by novel security demands in the twenty-first century, including the militarisation of urban crime and pandemics, and its consequences on human rights. The book will also introduce the reader to failed policies, lack of attention to governance, and decaying democratic practices. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe volume examines eight themes considered fundamental to understand the modern governance of the armed forces: the state of civil-military relations, political transition and military subordination, roles and missions, military effectiveness, fiscal spending, inter-agency challenges, international engagements, and transparency and corruption.\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow do elected governments deal with the military in the long term after authoritarianism? Today democracies all over the world are experiencing the unavoidable clashes of power between public authorities and those holding the monopoly of force. The enduring problems of civil-military relations mark past, present and future governance relations in uneven and unique ways. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eGoverning the military \u003c\/i\u003eunpacks theoretical and empirical manifestations of modern-day governance to sketch the ongoing attempts to legitimise civilian control in Chile since the demise of General Augusto Pinochet's dictatorship. It explores the challenges posed when strengthening subordination mechanisms and imposing control and effectiveness measures over traditional military roles and missions, as well as militarised responses to natural catastrophes and pandemics. The volume presents timely findings for the study of democracy, governance and policymaking while also discussing new developmental demands, human rights and the spread of populism. Collectively, the chapters argue that civilian-led military policies are constructed and managed through the interaction of many institutions. Making, leading and reforming the governance of the military in times of peace is a networked and multi-faceted endeavour. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Intended for a broad readership concerned with the politics and policies of the state and security, \u003ci\u003eGoverning the military\u003c\/i\u003e provides a detailed analysis on pressing military issues, including inter-agency coordination, defence expenditure, transparency and corruption, and international policy engagements.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarlos Solar is a Lecturer in Sociology at the University of Essex\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 232\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.48 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 23, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48874617667833,"sku":"9781526197870","price":63.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/4NEjj-aduw9781526197870.webp?v=1787326695","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/governing-the-military-the-armed-forces-under-democracy-in-chile-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
