Report
Conference on democratization and the military, organized by Research Committee 44 (RC44) was held at the University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand on 4-5 July 2017. The conference provided a forum for discussions on a number of issues related to democratization and the military.
The papers provided a wide and comparative prism of the different regions of the world (Americas, Africa, Europe, Middle East, Asia and Pacific) as well as the unique circumstances of different countries and specific situations. The papers were based on theoretical discourse, empirical case studies, comparative analysis between regions or countries or critical narrative and reflection of an ongoing situation. We hope to publish the papers in a special book issue.
