Against the background of its problematic human-rights record and
the military regime's continued extra-constitutional rule, Myanmar
has faced mounting diplomatic pressure from the international
community since the renewed detention of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi in
May 2003. This Adelphi Paper examines Myanmar's foreign policy,
which is predicated on state-building and development, as well as
defending the regime's decision to give priority to establishing an
enduring constitution over immediate national reconciliation and
democratisation. It discusses how the regime has been able to take
advantage of the economic, security and geostrategic interests of
both China and India in the country to achieve developmental and
security goals, and how its relations with Beijing in particular
have assumed ever greater significance as Western capitals have
sought to place Myanmar under the scrutiny of the UN Security
Council on the grounds that its domestic circumstances have
regional security implications. It discusses the regime's
objectives, concerns and challenges in its relations with the US,
Japan and Europe; details the difficult decisions of the leadership
as ASEAN has started to relax its application of the
non-interference norm when dealing with Myanmar; and examines its
interaction with the UN, particularly the secretary-general and his
special envoys. The paper concludes by analysing the likely
regional and international implications of intensified political
pressure on the military regime.
