Description: "This study constructs a neorealist theory of crossnational military emulation. The causes of military emulation, this book argues, are to he found not in the cultural, political, historical, or institutional attributes of states, but outside of them in their external security environment. This work is a qualitative comparative study, and it offers three rich - and uncommon - historical cases: Argentina, Brazil, and Chile."--Jacket.
