Abstract
This article discusses military participation in politics, with an emphasis in the Brazilian context. Far from new, the discussed hypothesis – the continuity line between professionalization and military political neutrality – became commonplace ever since Samuel Huntington (1996). However, a literature review enables us to question such hypothesis in view of the persistent military intervention in politics. Our core argument is that military intervention in politics is a direct function of professionalization in certain social, historical, and political contexts in countries like Brazil, so that the act of professionalizing implies preparing military forces for intervening political action.
