But a narrow or formalistic focus on civil-military relations obscures the risks to democracy that stem not from the military but from newer means of co…
Are US Civil-Military Relations in Crisis
Civil-military relations has been a subject of Parameters' articles for the life of the journal. Although interest in the topic waxes and wanes, in recent years it has been the focus of concern due to the appointment of two recently retired general officers to the post of Secretary of Defense and the ahistorical proposed use of the military by a president to address internal unrest.
