摘要

摘要:在奈温的统治下,缅甸缺乏强大的军事力量。军队的能力在1980年代末和1990年代初才得到相当大的提升。是什么导致了它的后期扩张?我认为,缅甸的军事升级取决于对政权的威胁,这种威胁会促使独裁者将有限的资源用于加强军队。直到1988年的一场社会革命动摇了军事统治,这一威胁才成为现实。由于缺乏制造战争的技术,军事发展也需要与一个有能力支持缅甸扩张的国家建立牢固的关系。那个国家就是中国。然而,到20世纪80年代末,仰光和北京的关系有了显著改善,中国作为武器供应国的能力也有所提高。从那时起,缅甸可以很容易地进入中国的武器市场。

Military Rule with a Weak Army: Myanmar's Late Expansion
Abstract:Under Ne Win's rule, Burma lacked a strong military. The army's capacity was only upgraded considerably in the late 1980s and early 1990s. What accounts for its late expansion? I argue that Burma's military upgrade depended on a threat to the regime that would incite autocrats to divert limited resources toward strengthening the army. That threat did not materialize until military rule was unsettled by a social revolution in 1988. Lacking the technology to produce warfare, military development also required strong ties to a state with the capacity to support Burma's expansion. That state was China. The ebb and flow in diplomatic relations between Rangoon and Beijing in the 1960s and 1970s, and China's isolation and military weakness under Mao Zedong made it unlikely to provide military support to Burma then. By the late 1980s, however, Rangoon and Beijing's relations had improved significantly, and China's capacity as a weapons provider had also increased. Burma could, from then on, easily access China's arms market.
