Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: The dominant institutional focus often misses the importance of discourse and semantic power in affecting the quality of democratic control of the armed forces in societies in transition. This paper therefore argues that the policy process and its outcomes are a more effective measure of the de facto quality of civilian control. To investigate this claim, the analysis will apply the securitisation approach associated with the "Copenhagen School" to identify actors empowered to participate in the process of threat definition in Brazil. In Brazil, these notably include legitimate policy bureaucrats, both civilian and uniformed, as well as academics, retired military officers and representatives of military clubs and academies. The paper will illustrate how, in a society in transition, the continued ability of these latter two to attain securitising actor status, and thus exercise influence on policy outcomes, constitutes an ongoing problem for the establishment of full civilian control over the military establishment.
