Description:
Abstract: "To date, few political scientists have researched the political,
economic, and social relationships between Russia and Myanmar. The
two countries, which at first glance may seem to have little in common,
have intensified their cooperation in recent years. This article explores
the ties between the two countries, not only the historical development
and the dimensions of the relationship, but it also examines the current
advantages and disadvantages of the relationship. Is Myanmar Russia?s
open door to the region in order for it to become a significant player in
the Asia-Pacific region? Can Russia provide a ?counterbalance? for the
smaller Southeast Asian countries against the great powers such as China
and India? Will this relationship be a pivotal one for both countries in
the future, or will it remain a limited partnership, restricted to particular
interests?".....
