Civil Society and Democratic Decline in Southeast Asia
This paper introduces a special issue that examines civil society and democratic decline in Southeast Asia. Using the Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, Myanmar, Malaysia, and Cambodia as case studies, the articles in the special issue examine often divergent reactions in civil society to increasing authoritarian pressures, diminishing political space, and increased repression. The paper at hand reviews the literature on concepts at the core of th…
Uncivil Society and Democracy's Fate in Southeast Asia
Civil society scholarship has repeatedly warned of the dangers of uncivil society for young democracies. However, it remains unclear when and how uncivil society becomes an instrument of democratic backsliding. Using Thailand and Myanmar as its case studies, the article discusses the origins, ideology, and impact of several uncivil society groups, deepening our knowledge on the latter's role in democratic backsliding/breakdown. It argues that unc…
Presidentialism and Democracy in East and Southeast Asia
Ruling but not Governing
The article sheds light on tutelary regimes, which have so far been left out in the discussion of contemporary authoritarian regimes. It uses a configurative approach to conceptualize tutelary regimes according to the three dimensions of tutelary interference, electoral competitiveness and civil liberties. Tutelary interference is conceived of as a spectrum of possible and not mutually exclusive roles which tutelary powers perform – depending on …
The constitution of Myanmar
Melissa Crouch’s impressive book The Constitution of Myanmar: A Contextual Analysis presents a thought-provoking and meticulously researched study of Myanmar’s 2008 constitution. The book offers a
Taking Stock of Myanmar’s Political Transformation since 2011
A Bird's Eye ViewFor the most time since independence in 1948, Myanmar had been ruled by a ruthless military junta which also controlled large swathes of the economy.In 2008, the military promulgated, as part of its so-called "roadmap to democracy" process, a new constitution which foresaw the holding of free and fair elections for the country's new bicameral parliament.Notably, the military retained a de facto veto over future constitutional cha…
Prisms on the golden pagoda
In March 2016, Myanmar’s first democratically elected government took power under the leadership of Aung San Suu Kyi. Given the country’s long history of authoritarian rule and ethnic rebellion, th
Perilous presidentialism in Southeast Asia
Regional patterns have long been crucial to debates about presidentialism starting with the Latin American cases in which presidential systems were seen to have contributed to political instability. This special issue examines four cases of presidentialism in Southeast Asia. Both the 'first' wave of the presidentialism literature which focuses on 'pure' cases of presidentialism, and the 'second' wave, which concentrates on a complex mixture of pr…
Perilous presidentialism or precarious power-sharing? Hybrid regime dynamics in Myanmar
Although Myanmar's transition from military rule has been thoroughly studied, research into the evolving presidential system is lacking. This article maps Myanmar's unique hybrid form of presidentialism and characterises executive-legislative relations between 2012 and 2017. It not only examines institutions themselves but also explores how actors within them have acted and shifted strategically. It is argued that elite-behaviour determines how i…
Building Governance from Scratch
The Extractive Industry Transparency Initiative is a set of transnational rules that aims at improving governance in the oil, gas and mining sector. Several resource rich countries have joined the initiative since its inception in 2002. The question is why and with what effect? The article explores the case of Myanmar and argues that both state and non-state actors use the transnational regulations of the Extractive Industry Transparency Initiati…
Politics and Constitutions in Southeast Asia
In recent years the constitutional landscape of Southeast Asia has changed tremendously. Against a worldwide background of liberalization, globalization, and democratization, states in the region have begun to alter their constitutions, reinforcing human rights provisions, and putting in place institutional safeguards, such as constitutional courts and human rights commissions. On closer examination, however, the picture is very complex, with con…
Politics and Constitutions in Southeast Asia
Myanmar’s Protracted Transition
This article argues that Myanmar is experiencing the beginning of a protracted transition, in which the military, the opposition, and the country’s civil society are renegotiating political space. The protracted transition might take decades, and opposition forces and civil society will face an uphill struggle to fully liberalize the regime
Myanmar
This opening chapter provides some background to the domestic reform agenda, along with its drivers and motivations. From 1988 to 2011, the military built up institutions that guaranteed the military’s dominant position in the political arena. The second phase, since 2011, has seen a guided relaxation of the military’s coercive controls and the liberalisation of political spaces for the opposition and civil society. In order to contextualise Myan…

Burma's Transition to Quasi-Military Rule
Today, most military regimes have either given way to some form of democracy or been transformed into another form of authoritarianism. This article formulates a framework for the analysis of the detachment of militaries from politics and applies it to the case of Burma/Myanmar, which is an example of deeply entrenched military rule. It is argued that after the retreat from direct rule the military is still in control, although the regime has emb…
