Summary/Abstract: The role and place of the armed forces in the modern and contemporary society made the subject of extensive scientific research papers from a juridical, sociological and military perspective; referring to periods of political stability, social peace, war, internal conflict, political crisis and revolution. The political crisis and revolutions that took place at the end of the twentieth century and the beginning of the 21st century in the former socialist states from Eastern Europe, and especially the ones in Northern Africa, known as the ”Arabic Spring” brought to the attention of both researchers (in varied fields, from history to sociology) and the public the problem of the relations between the military and the civilian factor (politicians) that runs the state; this is due to the importance of the role played by the army as an institution in society in predicting the political regime.
