Focus on how changing military ideology contributed to the events leading up to the military coup of 1964 and the emergence of the military-bureaucratic and authoritarian developmentalist components of the model. Argues that what happened in brazil was part of the wider military phenomenon know as the new professionalism of internal security and national development . The political roles of the brazilian and peruvian military establishments= the two most professional in latin america. Professionalism-as the professionalism of a military establishment increases the military"s activities tend to become less political. Brazil and peru are best viewed as one of the logical consequences of the new professionalism. This is achieved through objective civilian control by professionalizing the military and by restricting it to one sphere.
