This book investigates the link between international security governance, democratic civil-military relations and the relevance of strategy, as well as of absolute and relative gains, in hybrid orders. Highlighting caveats of the legacy of Huntington's paradigm of military professionalism, the book uses a robust methodology and data collected in four sample regions in Pakistan. It gauges the effects of international and local actors' support in the Security Sector Reform domain and examines instances of civil-military interactions and military transition. The book also analyses determinants and strategies that can influence them to demonstrate the importance of strategy, as well as of absolute and relative utility gains and incentives. The author provides a new conceptual framework for analysing the impact of international security governance on processes of democratic change and consequently sheds new light on the issue of global security governance, especially its impact on civil-military relations in hybrid orders. The book will be of interest to scholars and practitioners in the field of global governance, civil-military relations, grand strategy and foreign policy as well as Asian politics, South Asian studies, peace, security and strategic studies, IR and political science more general.
