The armed forces have been considered wasteful and nonproductive
institutions by many critics. Defense expenditures
are viewed as a negative factor to growth in
developing countries. However, given the social, political,
and economic conditions in those countries the armed forces
often play an important role in modernization and social
change.
There appear to be three models explaining this phenomenon:
the military's natural role, its direct social and
economic activities, and cases of military rule.
In the case of the Peruvian Armed Forces this evolution
has been played through their natural military role. Its
social and economic benefits resulted from the primary
mission of the military, the direct social and economic
activities performed in the accomplishment of their secondary
mission, and by their rule of the country.
This role is played without neglecting their defense
role and is due to the special conditions existing in the
country, such that the role hardly could be performed by
other public or private institutions.
This study attempts to organize cultural and military
factors into a map of military entrance in social change.
