Diese Hausarbeit untersucht die Militärregimes in der Türkei und Griechenland. Dazu wird zunächst der historische Hintergrund aufgezeigt. Im Hauptteil wird der theoretische Rahmen dargestellt und auf der Grundlage dessen der eigentliche Vergleich angestellt. Die Analyse bezieht sich auf die Militärregimes, die in beiden Ländern durch einen coup d´état ausgelöst wurden,
wobei nur die aktuellsten Militärregimes betrachtet werden, mit anderen Worten die Militärjunta in Griechenland von 1967-74 and in der Türkei von 1980-83. Im darauf folgenden Teil wird die Rolle des Militärs in der Türkei und Griechenland heute bewertet. Es wird dargestellt, wie die Art und Weise wie das Militär wahrgenommen wird, sich verändert, und somit auch seine Rolle in der heutigen Gesellschaft in Hinblick auf seine Macht und seinen Einfluss.
