The Latin American military is a complex institution in a complex society. It probably has always been, but in the past the dynamics acting upon the change versus order equation have allowed new structural relationships to be worked out over extended periods of time, relatively free from ideological passions and exogenous influences. That time has passed. Probably in no other region of the world are military establishments undergoing the degree of institutional selfexamination and mission redefinition as are the armies of Latin America today. They have neither the development-oriented self-confidence of the armies of the "new" nations, nor the threat-orientedWeltanschauungof the military in the established countries. Previously acceptable roles-as moderators in the political process or guarantors of their own image of the country's traditions-are under examination not only in the society at large but in the heart of the military institutions
