“In a rapidly changing security environment, Guns and Roses offers fresh and insightful analyses that transcend space and time.” —Prof. Yuko Kasuya, vice-president of International Political Science Association and professor of political science, Keio University “The book provides a very comprehensive and cutting-edge analysis of the important issue of civil-military relations and a recommended reading for those involved in modern-day security.” —Prof. Stephanie Lawson, adjunct professor in politics, Australian National University “Guns and Roses by an exceptional group of expert authors provides a rich comparative analysis of global security dynamics in the challenges of forging new civil military relations in a rapidly changing world.” —Prof. Ralph Premdas, professor of public policy, University of the West Indies This edited volume provides a comprehensive and up-to-date account of the latest developments on the relationship between the military and democratization, drawing examples from Asia, Pacific, Africa, Middle East and South America. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, the book covers wide-ranging sub-themes within the broad rubric of military and democratization relating to gender, peace-building, civilian oversight, coups, geopolitical contestation, internal repression, etc. In doing so, the volume has an international comparative coverage with three inter-related levels of analysis—the global, regional and national. Steven Ratuva is director of Macmillan Brown Centre for Pacific Studies and professor in the department of anthropology and sociology at the University of Canterbury, New Zealand. Radomir Compel is associate professor of comparative politics at Nagasaki University, Japan. Sergio Aguilar has a PhD in history and is associate professor in international security at São Paulo State University (UNESP), Brazil.
