By exploring the role of military officers and chronicling the
sequences of events, Soldiers and Politics in Southeast Asia offers
insight into the conditions that fostered military governments
specifically in Thailand, Burma, South Vietnam, Indonesia, and
Cambodia. Critically comparing these case studies and statistics,
this volume provides readers with a deeper understanding of the
causes and consequences of military involvement in the region's
politics during the post-colonial period covered.Two ideologically
opposed positions evolved around the phenomenon of military
insurgency. Technological conservatism generally favors military
insurgency in previously civilian-led governments. There was a
presumption that it encourages stability, efficiency, and
anti-communism. The revisionist position, on the other hand, was
highly critical of technological conservatism, especially with
regard to its political fervor. J. Stephen Hoadley asserts that the
relevant question is not one of ideological choices; rather, it is
whether a military or civilian-led government is better suited for
the political and economic development of a particular
underdeveloped nation. Hoadley argues that there is little
difference between military and civilian-led governments in their
abilities to establish stability and maintain law.The book
concludes that neither conservative nor radical views are fully
correct as to the effects of military-led governments on
development. Soldiers and Politics in Southeast Asia focuses
exclusively on civil-military politics in Southeast Asia in a
critical period for the region, and it should be read by all
individuals interested in Southeast Asian politics and development
long after Cold War issues have come to a close.
