Abstract	:	When do states experience coup d’états? Previous studies of military intervention have analyzed various social conditions that have been assessed as determinants of coup behavior. Relationships between select social conditions and coup behavior are often determined by how a variable motivates military movement and creates opportunities for intervention. Separately, comparative studies of military behavior during the 2011 Arab uprisings have assessed that the Egyptian armed forces' seizure of the state was motivated by commercial interests, a notion not addressed by previous studies of coup behavior. Military-owned enterprises have become common in states that struggle to provide adequate budgetary support to their armed forces. This study hypothesizes that militaries engaged in commercial activities are more likely to engage in coup behavior than armed forces that derive budgetary support solely from the state. This hypothesis is derived from the assumption that commercial activity expands the institutional interests of the armed forces and, consequently, makes them far more sensitive to socio-economic conditions. Regimes that implement ineffective domestic policy are more likely threatened by military intervention. This study will empirically test the hypothesized relationship between military commercialism and intervention using a similar systems design to select and evaluate cases from a regional sample.
