SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
How does the military influence on politics affect interethnic relations and ethnic policies within a state? This study aims to answer this question that has been largely unanswered in both ethnic conflict and civil-military relations literature. In the last decade, there has been a growing scholarly interest in the relationship between the regime type and international conflict. Several scholars argue that because soldiers are more war-prone than civilians as a result of certain characteristics, military regimes are more likely to initiate international conflicts. I use the arguments of this theory, which is called military activism, to explain if military influence on politics has a role in the decision to use force against ethnic groups within a state. I also explain the historical roots of military influence and ethnic policies by adopting historical institutionalism in this study.
