This course provides an introduction to the study of civil-military relations (CMR). It is commonplace for strategic studies to view armed forces (AF) merely as an instrument at the disposal of security and defence policy. Among the objectives of this course is to problematize this view. Political, ethical, and normative distinctions between AF and their parent society form the basis of the CMR problematique.

This module provides an introduction to the study of civil-military relations (CMR). It is commonplace for strategic studies to view armed forces (AF) merely as an instrument at the disposal of security and defence policy. Among the objectives of this course is to problematize this view. Political, ethical, and normative distinctions between AF and their parent society form the basis of the CMR problematique. AF may play a crucial role in domestic politics. Rather than a security instrument, it is not such a rare occurrence that AF turn into a threat to the civilian leadership of the state.
