由于政变本质上是发生在政治制度范围之外的非法行为，军方必须在政变成功后以某种形式为其行动辩护。然而，军方用来为政变辩护的方法还没有得到系统的分析。因此，本文着重探讨框架作为一种获得合法性的方法。我们构建了一个原始数据集，目标是1975年至2014年间发生的每一次成功政变；该数据集用于通过检查军方在政变后发表的声明来回答军方如何策划政变的问题。研究结果揭示了冷战以来的两个变化。首先是标签框架的变化，军方声称某项行动不是政变，由此产生的政权也不是军政府，从而试图削弱军方参与政府本身的印象。第二是价值观框架的变化，军队试图声称他们的行为是民主的。这些动态的存在表明，有必要适应特定时期的规范环境，而这样做的最佳方法因时期而异。
Since coups are essentially illegal acts that occur outside the bounds of political systems, militaries must justify their actions in some form after a successful coup. However, the methods militaries use to justify coups have not been systematically analysed. Therefore, this article focuses on framing as a method of obtaining legitimacy. An original dataset has been constructed that targets every successful coup that occurred between 1975 and 2014; this dataset is used to answer the question of how militaries have framed coups by examining the statements that militaries make after a coup. The results reveal two changes since the Cold War. The first is a change in label framing, in which the military asserts that an action is not a coup and the resultant regime is not a military government, thereby attempting to weaken the impression of the military’s participation in the government itself. The second is a change in value framing in which militaries attempt to contend that their acts are democratic. The existence of these dynamics indicates that it is necessary to adapt to the normative environment of a given time, and the best method of doing so varies depending on the period.
