초록

Civil–military relations have traditionally been examined within military authoritarian frameworks, but recent shifts in focus toward democratic contexts have revealed important questions about the role of military professionalism in shaping civilian control. This study investigates how military professionalism influences civilian control and political participation in democratic states. Drawing on Huntington’s and Stepan’s theories, we examine two dimensions of professionalism: expertise and corporateness. Using a mixed-methods approach, we combine quantitative analysis with in-depth case studies of South Korea and France. Our findings demonstrate that expertise generally strengthens civilian control by clarifying boundaries between military and political roles, while corporateness tends to increase military expansion into political spheres. These results highlight the evolving and complex nature of civil–military relations in democracies, underscoring the need for nuanced strategies to maintain effective civilian oversight.

Abstract

Civil–military relations have traditionally been examined within military authoritarian frameworks, but recent shifts in focus toward democratic contexts have revealed important questions about the role of military professionalism in shaping civilian control. This study investigates how military professionalism influences civilian control and political participation in democratic states. Drawing on Huntington’s and Stepan’s theories, we examine two dimensions of professionalism: expertise and corporateness. Using a mixed-methods approach, we combine quantitative analysis with in-depth case studies of South Korea and France. Our findings demonstrate that expertise generally strengthens civilian control by clarifying boundaries between military and political roles, while corporateness tends to increase military expansion into political spheres. These results highlight the evolving and complex nature of civil–military relations in democracies, underscoring the need for nuanced strategies to maintain effective civilian oversight.
