INTRODUCTION
Since the military coup led by General Ne Win on 2 March
1962, the military has launched a systematic militarisation by
replacing almost all the intellectual civilian posts in every
adminstrative sector with the officers in uniform. With the
lack of experience in individual fields, every civil and
professorial administration has been ruined by the
monopolisation of the military. That mismanagement led the
country into the Least Developed Country (LDC) with 4000
million US$ foreign debt in December 1987.
Consequently, Burmese people called for an end to one party
dictatorship and restoration of democracy in their motherland.
Although one party rule was at its sunset because of the nation-wide uprisings
, the military took over power and established a
new junta in Sptember 1988 in order to safeguard the military
dynasty and the hierarchy of the outgoing regime. Claiming to
introduce the "Free Market Economy" in Burma, the SLORC
military junta reformed the bureaucracy. But they readopted
the old and unpopular model of militarisation, assigning army
officers to all civil administration posts. At the same time,
SLORC has been convening "National Convention" to
legitimise the role of the miltiary in Burma's future politics.
We do hope that this "Military Bureaucracy of SLORC" will
help you improve your awareness of how the regime
monopolises the civil administration.
