The Influence of Church and Military Politicization on Regime Change in the Third World

本研究活动由妇女研究机会计划资助项目资助。该奖项将允许首席研究员开始评估教会和军队参与政治的出现，以及这种政治化对政权更迭的影响。调查员将制定一项战略，将罗马天主教会和武装部队在菲律宾的经验与几个拉丁美洲国家的经验进行比较。作为一个试点项目，本研究以在菲律宾进行的研究和实地考察为基础，重点是将研究扩展到几个拉丁美洲国家。研究者对这类研究有扎实的背景，要解决的问题既及时又重要。有充分的理由相信，与妇女研究机会项目的目标一致，该奖项可能会导致成功的后续提案。
