Civil–Military Cultural Gap in Romania

Abstract

The reform of civil–military relations and the establishment of a democratic control of Armed Forces were important concerns for the Romanian transition, after 1989. The main reasons were related with a misperception that the military were supporters of Ceausescu's dictatorship, their involvement in the overthrow of Ceausescu's regime, in 1989, when they could have established a military control of society.
