Abstract

This article addresses the development and trend of thinking in terms of ‘civil-military relations’ towards ‘security sector governance’. The first section reviews political-military and civil-military relations theory from its beginnings to present. The next section examines the post-Cold War transformation of the principle of civilian control by taking into account i.e. its new relevance in international affairs. While the subsequent section briefly discusses the so-called ‘constructivist turn’ in civil-military relations theory, the paper concludes with an outlook related to the security-development nexus and its possible impact on civil-military relations.
