Abstract
Abstract : A theoretical review of civil-military relations theory is presented to analyze the political situation in Argentina, in an attempt to find the causes of military coups and the proper place of military within the political system. The case of the United States is considered so as to draw conclusions. The paper analyzes the impact of military-to-military relations between Argentina and the United States, and attempts to establish a sound relation that affirms democracy in Argentina and, by extrapolation, in the region in general. Major findings include (1) The concept of 'objective civilian control' by the Argentine military is obsolete and should be replaced with 'participatory control.' (2) Politicians and the military should act as 'boundary spanners' in the field of their interactions. (3) The concepts of 'military mind' and 'victory' should be reconsidered. (4) In terms of power, concepts of military jointness and civilian control oppose each other. 95) Conflict theory should be studied by the military. Keywords: Joint military activities, Foreign military forces, Latin America, Civil affairs, Foreign government, Theses.
