Praetorians, Profiteers or Professionals? contributes to the
ongoing renaissance in scholarship on Southeast Asia's armed forces
and their political, social and economic roles. This renaissance
comes in an era in which the states of the region, and the
societies and economies that they govern, have grown complex beyond
all recognition. Nevertheless, understanding those states' armies
remains crucial. Emphasizing the ideologies and economic activities
of the militaries of two large Mainland Southeast Asian neighbours,
this volume transcends cliches about coups, coercion, caudillos and
kings. Its findings will challenge the thinking of even long-time
observers of the region, not least through its comparative
perspective and the fresh understanding of the roles and
orientations of the armed forces of Myanmar and Thailand that that
perspective suggests.
