This panel examines the military’s role in contemporary democratic backsliding. Combining cross-regional comparison and in-depth case studies, it explores how armed forces shape regime trajectories through diverse modes of involvement from guardianship to direct intervention. Conceptually, it rethinks civil–military relations under gradual autocratization; theoretically, it links military behavior to broader dynamics of democratic decay and breakdown; empirically, it integrates qualitative evidence with cross-national datasets to explain variation in roles and outcomes. The panel advances debates on regime transformation, key actors in autocratization, and the evolving architecture of civil–military relations in the twenty-first century.
