Abstract
This article, using the case of Chad, and placing it in comparative context, suggests that Third World militarism has not been fully imagined. Specifically, it will argue that a process which constitutes violent institutions has escaped the notice of students of militarism. Further, it will suggest that this process, called that of dispersion of violent force, has placed a number of Third World states under siege, occasionally provoking their descent into anarchy. The existence of such processes raises the question of whether Third World states are undergoing a structural history that is fundamentally different from that which characterized the evolution of the modern great powers. This investigation is made using a structural history approach.
