Burma ́s National Security and Defence Posture

Challenges to Burma's security posed by armed separatist and communist insurgencies since independence in 1948 are examined in relation to the responses and initiatives taken by the tatmadaw [Burmese armed forces). It seems that threat perceptions in the context of such challenges and Burma's strict neutrality in inter national relations, together with budgetary constraints, have shaped the national defence posture. This is reflected in the objectives, means and resources of the tatmadaw which is overwhelmingly oriented towards internal security concerns
