Quote from book "Although there are hundreds of books on the subject of military intervention into politics, there re virtually no in-depth studies about military withdrawl from politics: the transformation of a society ruled by generals into one governed by politicians, elected or otherwise. Military Withdrawal from Politics fills the gap by providing the first sytematic and comparative study of military withdrawal from politics at the international level. Maniruzzaman looks at numerous countries in which military rule has been replaced by political rule: the abrupt transitions experienced by nations such as Syria, Iraq, and Benin; the more gradual 'institution-building' process in countries like Mexico; and the wide spectrum of communist and noncommunist social revolutions in Latin American and Africa. Maniruzzaman first examines the classical theory of civil/military relations and the consequences and dimensions of military rule. He then embarks upon a detailed study of military withdrawl from politics as it relates to a variety of issues: sudden or short term transitions from military to civilian government, the professional army and planned withdrawal, leadership and institution building, alternative defense strategies, social revolution and long term withdrawal, uncompleted and pseudorevolutions, and the demilitarization of politics in third world states. he concludes with substantive perspectives on policy alternatives. Analyzing military withdrawals at both the superstructural and structural levels, Military Withdrawal from Politics answers key questions: What are the organizational dynamics in military and civilian institutions? What are the main differences between military and civilian leaders? What factors explain the difference between short-term and long term transfers of power? What plays the more crucial role, internal pressures for social change or internal politics? Balanced and highly readable, Military Withdrawal from Politics provides invaluable information for policymakers and scholars of international relations."
