A Comparative Study of the Politicization of the Military in North Africa and Southeast Asia

Abstract

The purpose of the cross-cultural, comparative study is to develop a mid-range theory of the politicization of the military in monarchies and to offer explanations for exceptions to the theory. Three North African societies, Libya, Morocco, and Ethiopia, are examined in depth to determine elements common to the politicization of the military. Two Southeast Asian countries, Thailand, and Cambodia, are then analyzed to validate the theory. Appendices are included to give a brief explanation of General Systems Theory and to provide extensive data on the countries examined.
