Military-Civil Relations in South-East Asia

As this anthology so clearly illustrates, there is no single pattern of military-civilian relations in South-East Asia. these 12 original essays cover the main types to be found in the area: in Indonesia, Burma, and Thailand, where military strength is growing; and in Malaysia and Singapore, where civilian government reigns supreme. Also included are chapters on military roles in two Communist countries, Vietnam and Laos, and two comparative essays examine the durability of military regines in South-East Asia and the usefulness of common theories about military influence for understanding military politics in the region.Crouch, Harold is the author of 'Military-Civil Relations in South-East Asia', published 1986 under ISBN 9780195826142 and ISBN 0195826140.
