Military Culture Series

Recently updated from 2018.
FIU’s Jack D. Gordon Institute for Public Policy and the Kimberly Green Latin American and Caribbean Center have launched an updated Military Culture Series examining the cultures of militaries across Latin America and the Caribbean.

Building on the foundational work of Brian Fonseca and Eduardo A. Gamarra’s edited volume titled Culture and National Security in the Americas (Lexington Books, 2017) and updating a series first published in 2018, the forthcoming publications feature leading scholars from across the hemisphere.

The series explores the internal and external factors that shape contemporary military institutions, assessing how history, culture, politics, economics, and geography influence the values, attitudes, and behaviors that define military organizations today.

Through this research, FIU continues to advance understanding of civil-military relations, strategic culture, and security dynamics across the region.
