Abstract:
Though the national case-studies on civil-military relations cannot provide, with the exception of the Bulgarian and the Slovenian perspectives, for a comparative view, the initial analytic framework is sufficient to assess the progress and the deficiencies of the individual countries in establishing civil democratic control over their military.
One may dispute which of the factors, outlining the analytic framework - the problems of transition, the post-Yugoslav conflicts and wars, the evolving Balkan regional security community, the transforming security and defence agenda of post-Cold War Europe or the Western support, is more influential in shaping the civil-military relations of the individual countries in South-East Europe. However, the combined influence of these five factors has produced a differentiated picture of the state of the issues in the individual countries.
