Corporatism and Security Sector Reform

The main objective of the book is to analyse, from a§cross-regional §comparative perspective, the relationship between the§corporatist §features and civil-military relations in two§democratising countries, §Romania and Brazil. I choose Romania and Brazil§because these two §countries presented peculiar features regarding the§civil-military §arrangements within their own regions, and, in§addition, these §countries share a particular heritage regarding the§corporatist §arrangements both in terms §of intellectual-cultural legacy and contingent§decisions. On the one §hand, this study aims to provide an answer to the§current appeals §for §new analytical perspectives within the literature. On§the other hand, §the book will survey neglected features of§corporatism and §corporatist elements, namely those regarding the§civil-military §relations and §national security policy in two of the largest§democratizing societies §in §Latin America and post-communist Europe.
