Thailand's Struggle for Democracy
Burma's Uneven Struggle
Burma’s Uneven Struggle Josef Silverstein (bio) The unequal struggle to restore democracy and freedom to Burma has been going on since the military seized power in 1962 and replaced the country’s original liberal-democratic constitution with an authoritarianism that, in one form or another, has prevailed ever since. 1 The contest took a new turn in May 1996, when 1991 Nobel Peace Prize laureate Aung San Suu Kyi and other leaders of the National L…
The Idea of Freedom in Burma and the Political Thought of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi
THERE is a serious political struggle in progress in Burma today which turns on the idea of freedom. Since September 18, 1988, when the military violently suppressed a peaceful democratic revolution, its leaders, organized as the State Law and Order Restoration Committee (SLORC), have ruled by martial law. Although SLORC allowed a free and fair election on May 27, 1990 and the National League for Democracy (NLD) was chosen overwhelmingly to form …

Myanmar Dilemmas and Options
Civil War and Rebellion in Burma
1988 was unlike any other year in Burma's short history as an independent nation. It began quietly, but erupted into a revolution for democracy and change which failed when the army violently restored its dictatorship; it ended quietly, but with the people living in fear under a military determined not to be challenged openly again. During this same period, while the world focused on Rangoon, the minorities continued to pursue a civil war which s…

“If you want to write a real Burmese story”, U Nu once told an audience of Burmese writers, you “must know the real Burmese background”. It is advice that applies to foreign as well as indigenous writers and, in most cases, non-Burmese writers have followed it. The recommendation is important because fiction provides a popular entryway for the “average” reader to reach beyond his normal range of knowledge and imagination; it is more likely that h…

Aung San Suu Kyi
Politics in the Shan State
The fourth of January 1958 was significant in Burma for two reasons; it marked the tenth anniversary of the nation's independence and it also denoted the end of the constitutional limitation on the right of a state to secede from the Union. While the anniversary of independence caused rejoicing throughout the country, the right of secession caused many of the leaders to worry and wonder whether or not this date would become significant as the beg…

Japanese-Trained Armies in Southeast Asia
Students in Southeast Asian Politics
I N SOUTHEAST ASIA, students have long been active in the political process, but there is no clear and uniform answer to the question why they suddenly leave their books and classes for the streets and barricades, no way to judge how long they will remain there and no explanation why they return when they do, leaving (in most cases) the issue half resolved. Those who have watched students in this region, as elsewhere in the world, wonder whether …
Burmese and Malaysian Student Politics
“Malaysia needs this kind of spirit.” With these words, the Prime Minister of Malaysia, Tunku Abdul Rahman, responded to a student demonstration supporting the nation against the 1968 territorial claims to Sabah put forth by the Philippines. Although he toned down his enthusiasm somewhat when later he learned that the same students had forced their way into the Philippine Embassy compound and had torn down its flag prior to their demonstration in…

The Burmese University Student
This paper is an imaginative and enlightening survey of the opinions of about 700 students in the English classes at Mandalay and Rangoon Universities. What this “projective” experiment lacks in scientific precision, it seems to make up for in perceptive observations and conclusions about how Burmese students think and express themselves and, more especially, their views on education, careers, service to others, and personal pleasures

Political Dialogue in Burma
Since the coup in 1962, and the silencing of the leaders associated with the overthrown regime, there has been no real political dialogue in Burma.' This is not to suggest that politics for the past seven years has not been a subject of conversation or the central topic of countless seminars and forums; rather, it is to say that since the military leaders seized power, a new political system and national goals have been imposed and their virtues …
