And this was particularly prominent after the end of colonization in Africa, where a lot of African leaders, a lot of African independence leaders, had no idea what to really do with their militaries, because the colonial powers had deliberately set up the security forces of these territories and in a way that meant that they were not loyal to these new independence leaders.

So it was very widespread. But the problem with this is that you have to get there. So once you have this politicized military in which certain ethnicities allied with you are in these powerful positions, okay, it can work out very well. But as you try to get there, as you keep promoting people from a certain ethnicity, you are inevitably going to run into opposition.

And that's a problem with all of these measures of coup-proofing. And I think during my research, I think the most depressing thing that I came across was an alternative to this, whereby a dictator was trying to make change less appealing by having his security forces deliberately commit human rights abuses.

So this was Saddam Hussein, and essentially what he would do is use his security forces in order to commit horrible atrocities against the people of Iraq. And the reason for that was that once they had done all these terrible things, they knew that they effectively had to defend the regime to the death because they were hated. So if Saddam was going to lose power, they were going to be toast.

It's not even just dictators. In some of the civil wars, what groups would do is, when they were struggling to recruit fighters to join the rebellion, effectively what they would do is kidnap children and then force those children to commit atrocities near their home villages, which meant that they were locked into the rebellion.

When you look at this world, when you look at the way that some of these regimes function, some of these mechanisms at play, it can be quite depressing.
