Collins, Pauline (2016) The civil courts’ challenge to military justice and its impact on the civil–military relationship. In: Military Justice in the Modern Age. Cambridge University Press, United Kingdom, pp. 57-80. ISBN 9781107042377
Abstract
Civil–military relations theory establishes a clear preference for civilian control over the military. Carl von Clausewitz was an early proponent of this theory, stating: ‘[p]olicy is the guiding intelligence and war only the instrument . . . No other possibility exists, then, than to subordinate the military . . . to the political’.2 However, there is very little agreement on the way in which that arrangement can be achieved or, indeed, the operation of the civil–military relationship more generally. Matthew Groves argues that ‘[i]t is possible that the absence of a settled body of doctrine reflects a wider lack of knowledge about the societal relationship between civilians and the military in modern society.
