Reviews

"Alfred Stepan ... now presents what is likely to become a classic work of regime translation and the obstacles facing civilian rule in the Southern Cone. To do justice to the complexity and wealth of data and analysis presented in Rethinking Military Politicswould require more space than is available for this brief review."--Journal of Interamerican Studies and World Affairs
