The praetorian problem is the need to curb the political power of the military establishment and to make the armed forces into a professional body committed to providing for the external security of the country. This is significant because many Latin American countries have to do this in order to avoid coup d'etats by the military. An example would be removing Pinochet from being the commander of the military in chile.
