In the late 1990s, prominent scholars of civil-military relations
detected a decline in the political significance of the armed
forces across Southeast Asia. A decade later, however, this trend
seems to have been reversed. The Thai military launched a coup in
2006, the Philippine armed forces expanded their political
privileges under the Arroyo presidency, and the Burmese junta
successfully engineered pseudo-democratic elections in 2010. This
book discusses the political resurgence of the military in
Southeast Asia throughout the 2000s. Written by distinguished
experts on military affairs, the individual chapters explore
developments in Burma, Thailand, the Philippines, Vietnam, East
Timor, Indonesia and Singapore. They not only assess, but also
offer explanations for the level of military involvement in
politics in each country. Consequently, the book also makes a
significant contribution to the comparative debate about militaries
in politics. Whilst conditions obviously differ from country to
country, most authors in this book conclude that the shape of
civil-military relations is not predetermined by historic, economic
or cultural factors, but is often the result of intra-civilian
conflicts and divisive or ineffective political leadership.
