Description:
Abstract: "This thesis examines the theories on military intervention in politics and
disengagement from what can be seen as extreme participation in the political
process, in the context of Thailand and Burma. It argues that although there are a
plethora of theories and theorists dealing with the
subject
there is an explainable
process by which it is possible to begin to understand military participation in
politics. Also, that there are discernable incentives and obstacles to military action,
effecting the decision to expand the military role to direct intervention and why
they might choose to limit their participation. It also suggests that there are many
factors, economic, historical, sociological and political, which contribute to what
can be seen in some countries as endemic military intervention in the changing of
government..."
