Competitive Transition to Civilian Rule

Few Decisions exert a greater impact upon the polity and the pattern of public policy-making than those defining the nature of the political system itself. Transitions from military to civilian rule constitute a dramatic type of institutional change which is encountered with increasing frequency in the Third World. One type of 'planned withdrawal' initially involes little alteration in the distribution of power. This approach, which has been employed in Zaïre and Ethiopia, typically yields new nomenclature - for example, the military ruler assumes the title of civilian head of state - and a political structure dominated by a single individual and/or party, closely tied to the same ideology embraced by the military predecessors
