The Causes of the Proclivity towards Factionalism in the Political Parties of Myanmar
Factionalism has been a dominant factor in the formation and management of political parties in Myanmar. Since the first elections in 1922 until the most recent in 2015, ideological and programmatic differences, as well as personalities and competition for resources, have encouraged the growth of factionalism

Myanmar
The recent turn of events in Myanmar has surprised and puzzled those in the West who formerly condemned the military government, yet now seem keen to visit and be seen with Aung San Suu Kui. The article suggests that the West's analysis of the previous situation was badly flawed. On the basis of an alternative narrative of the last twenty years, the author argues that what is now happening is not an abrupt change of direction, but rather a contin…

Politics in Late Colonial Burma
It has been assumed that the politicians and political organizations of late colonial Burma were mere shams behind which the real affairs of government were conducted by British governors and civil servants. It also has been assumed that what mass politics there was among the Burmese in the 1930s was dominated by nationalist youth, especially the Thakins, and monks who were untainted by contact and collaboration with the British and those Burmese…
Do States Make Nations
The central importance of ethnicity as the major determinant of political identity in Myanmar's modern history has long been accepted as axiomatic in the literature on the country. But this essay, which reviews Myanmar's modern political history in terms of the issue of political identity, suggests that perhaps the past is an inadequate guide to the present, and new hypotheses may need to be posed in order to understand more fully the role of eth…

The Burmese Communist Movement and Its Indian Connection
As the founders of a revolutionary movement with an international ideology, the small group of men who led the Burmese communist parties for their first thirty years were concerned as to whether their ideological views and political tactics were consonant with those of foreign communist parties. While looking to Marx, Lenin, and their European interpreters as the original fount of ideological coherence, Asian parties nearer to Burma provided the …

Myanmar
The author argues that Western policy towards Myanmar over the last twenty years has been not only demonstrably ineffective, but has also completely ignored the admittedly somewhat hesitant efforts of the military regime to improve relations with the West. Although the regime has been presentationally inept, the generals do seem to be moving towards some sort of elections in 2010. The West will need to decide how to respond to those elections. Co…
Burma's Ambiguous Breakthrough
Burma's Ambiguous Breakthrough Robert H. Taylor (bio) When Burma1 held its first multiparty elections in 30 years this past May, most of the coverage in the Western media drew analogies with recent events in Eastern Europe.

Readers were led to believe that Burma began shaking off 26 years of one-party political obscurantism in mid-1988, when prodemocracy d…

Responding to Nargis
Taking approximately 140,000 lives, Cyclone Nargis hit the Ayeyawady Delta of Myanmar in May 2008, as the government was preparing to hold a referendum to confirm a new constitution for the country. The referendum was part of the military’s seven-step road map to a new constitutional order. Given the political significance of the referendum, the government’s post-cyclone relief efforts were ignored, and an international campaign was launched to p…

Myanmar's 'Pivot' Toward the Shibboleth of 'Democracy
The recent reforms in Myanmar were not brought about by Western sanctions or some contingent event, but rather planned well in advance,. For there is more continuity than change in Myanmar's political system, which is dominated by the practitioners of national power-the army and the bureaucracy. Of course there are new actors, principally Aung San Suu Kyi and the party she leads, the NLD. Yet the reality remains: state security has to be maintain…

Burma ́s Foreign Relations since the Third Indochina Conflict
The principles and practices of foreign policy that allowed Burma to remain outside of the first two Indochina conflicts has also made it possible for the country to avoid embroilment in the third. However, to the degree that the third conflict has involved the extension of the Sino-Soviet dispute directly into mainland Southeast Asia, Burma has had to take account of new circumstances. Burma's policy-makers have long held that great power rivalr…
