Abstract

This article discusses how the reform of the defense section is essential for completing the transition processes of political regimes dominated by military to democratic regimes. The reform of the defense section is defended as a condition to establish a good governability, guaranteeing the bases not just for the political development, but mainly for the economic and social, of countries that have faced the violence of conflicts and/or política/regimes of force.
