Supervised Democracy ?,

This review is from: Incomplete Transition: Military Power and Democracy in Argentina (Hardcover)
The author argues that democracies can be just tolerated by military rulers, until they feel that elected governments have moved to far away from the boundaries set by the military establishments. Under this light, the author analyzes relationships between the different democratic governments of Argentina since 1983 and the military institutions of the country. Well written and very interesting analysis.
