N2  - Compares the failed military coups in Ecuador (2000) and Venezuela (2002) with the successful 1999 military putsch in Pakistan to identify what factors affect coup outcomes in third-wave democracies. Concludes that military cohesion, public support, and international tolerance all contributed to the success of Pakistan's coup, whereas lack of cohesion, public antipathy, and stronger international opposition appear to have contributed to the failures in Ecuador and Venezuela
