Abstract

The article presents a study on the civil-military relations in five East Asian democracies which are Indonesia, the Philippines, South Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand. The authors describe civilian control as the distribution of power between elected civilian authorities and military leaders in which civilians can make decisions without influence from the military. They state that civilian control means more than the absence of a military intervention.
