Preferred term

military in government  

Definition

  • The military in government is usually taken as synonymous with military regimes and taken to mean that the military has direct control of the machinery of government through a chain of command: military personnel hold executive posts, not least that of chief executive. Such governments are also generally held to be those installed, initially at least, by the military seizing power through the illegal act of a coup d'état.
