Abstract

This study examines how a domestic political regime affects coup d’etat. Recent empirical researches on civil-military relations have found a global decline in military coup, and it has been argued that it can be rare for a democratic country to face coup d’etat following the development of military modernization. However, I suggest that the types of democratization be distinguished, and transitional countries after a democratic revolution face coup d’etat more than other countries after top-down democratization and/or consolidated democratic establishment. The government established by a democratic revolution has the abilities and conditions to exclude military from politics and barred them to their barracks without any mutual agreements. Consequently, the military exercises coup attempts because of the complaint against its own government. This paper analyzes the cases of the Philippines and Indonesia after democratization.
