Debating Civil-Military Relations in Latin America
The study of civil-military relations in Latin America produced a rich debate and research agenda prior to 2000. But this agenda was largely abandoned during the past decade as the spectre of military dictatorship has virtually disappeared, with the political role of the military in many countries dramatically diminished. Indeed, in no country that has initiated a process of holding the military accountable to civilian control has the military openly rebelled. Yet, the institutions and public attitudes that guarantee democratic civilian control of the military exist in a general context of political polarisation, citizen insecurity and in many countries a sense of developing ungovernability....
Soldiers, Politicians, and Civilians
Are interactions between soldiers, politicians, and civilians improving? Every nation has to come to grips with achieving a more enduring harmony between government, the armed forces, and society if it aspires to strengthen its democracy. While there is an abundance of studies on civil-military affairs, few examine all three of these actors, let alone establish any standards with which to assess whether progress is being made. This ambitious book devises a novel framework equipped with six dimensions, each of which opens a unique window into civil-military affairs, and which form a more integrated view of the subject. Those dimensions are accompanied by a set of benchmarks and metrics that assess progress and compare one country against another. The framework is applied to case studies of Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Uruguay, with the conviction that insights could be gleaned that may be relevant elsewhere. Ultimately, by unpacking the civil-military relation into its various dimensions, this study has shed light on what it takes to transform what was once a politically-minded military into an organization dedicated to serving a democratic state and society.

El Libro Rojo, 1520-1867
El libro rojo —escrito y publicado por Manuel Payno y Vicente Riva Palacio en 1870— comienza con una recreación de los sucesos que rodearon a la caída del Imperio Azteca en tiempos de Moctezuma II: el cometa que se divisó en 1514 en el Valle de Anáhuac y por el que fueron ejecutados varios sacerdotes al negarse a revelar su catastrófico significado, la llegada de Cortés a Tenochtitlan, la forma en que Moctezuma es tomado prisionero, la matanza que cometen los soldados de Pedro de Alvarado en el atrio del Templo Mayor, la ejecución del emperador mexica y los momentos previos a la llamada «Noche Triste». Luego se cuenta el enfrentamiento fallido de Xicoténcatl contra los soldados...
