Abstract:
"Direct military rule has become rare in world politics. Today, most military regimes have
either given way to some form of democracy or been trans
formed into another form of
authoritarianism. This article formulates an analytical framework for the detachment of
militaries from politics and identifies positive and negative factors for a withdrawal. It then
applies this framework to the case of Burma/
Myanmar, which is an example of deeply
entrenched military rule. It is argued that the retreat from direct rule has brought with it a
further institutionalization of military rule in politics, since the military was able to
safeguard its interests and desi
gn the new electoral authoritarian regime according to its
own purposes. The article identifies the internal dynamics within the military regime as a
prime motive for a reform of the military regime. Although the external environment has
completely changed
over the last two decades, this had only a minor impact on military
politics. The opposition could not profit from the regime?s factionalization and external
sanctions and pressure have been undermined by Asian engagement."...
