This thesis seeks to explain what accounts for the presence of factionalism within the military in its relationship with the political leaders, that is, in civil-military relations.1 Explaining military factionalism in civil-military relations is important for two reasons. First, factionalism within the officer corps determines how well the military deals with the chief executive, which in turn will influence the nature of civil-military relations that often significantly affects the domestic political arena or foreign policy. In the latter, during conditions of contested domestic political institutions, factionalism and threats to military unity are seen as crucial in explaining military willingness to use force abroad (Dassel and Reinhardt 1999). In domestic politics, factionalism affects the likelihood of coups by militaries in Asia, Africa, Middle East, and Latin America (Thompson 1973). In authoritarian regimes, factionalism also determined how well militaries defended the ruler during political uprisings in Indonesia in 1998 and China in 1989 (Lee 2005).
