| spelling | oai:open.uct.ac.za:11427/9552 Civil supremacy of the military in Namibia : an evolutionary perspective Lamb, Guy Seegers, Annette International and Comparative Politics Includes bibliographical references. The aim of this dissertation is to analyse the phenomenon of civil supremacy, and in particular how it evolves and is sustained over time. A theoretical case study of Namibia will be undertaken to achieve this objective, with three traditions of civil supremacy, namely colonial, revolutionary/insurgent and democratic (as well as the relevant mechanisms and techniques), being the focus. This dissertation seeks to determine how these traditions emerge and develop over time. Basically, civil supremacy rests on a set of ideas, institutions and behaviours. Together these practices limit the possibility of excessive military intervention in political affairs and provide a system that endows civilian officials with the authority and the machinery to exercise supremacy in military affairs. 2014-11-11T12:54:18Z 2014-11-11T12:54:18Z 1998 Master Thesis Masters MSocSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/9552 eng application/pdf Department of Political Studies Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town |
