Military chiefs running regional fiefdoms are the problem

Original: Military chiefs ruling over regional fiefdoms are the problem

Responsible Statecraft argues that senior military commanders who control their own regional power bases are a core problem, weakening central authority and undermining coherent defence policy. The piece contends that these entrenched regional fiefdoms distort command structures and accountability, and that genuine military reform requires dismantling such patronage networks rather than reshuffling leadership at the top.

Why now: The argument about powerful regional commanders will resonate wherever debates over military reform and civilian control of armed forces are live.
