士兵与外交》探讨了军队在缅甸外交政策中的持续作用这一关键问题。作者是一位政治学家和前英国广播公司(BBC)的亚洲顶级编辑,他们对缅甸的外交和安全政策提供了一个新的视角,这些政策在中立主义和不结盟的积极外交以及孤立和仇外的民族主义的自律政策之间进行了转变。他们认为,重要的连续性因素是缅甸在殖民时期后的政策变化和外交实践对比的基础。这里的决定性因素包括缅甸武装部队对国家结构的强大统治力、持久的国内政治难题以及位于印度、中国和东南亚十字路口的特殊地理环境。


Egreteau和Jagan认为,在2010年代后军政府时代,缅甸军方仍然拥有必要的工具来保持他们对国家外交政策的禁卫军影响力。对于国际政策制定者、潜在的外国投资者和缅甸的近邻来说,这将对该国的外交政策方针产生强烈影响。

Soldiers and Diplomacy addresses the key question of the ongoing role of the military in Burma’s foreign policy. The authors, a political scientist and a former top Asia editor for the BBC, provide a fresh perspective on Burma’s foreign and security policies, which have shifted between pro-active diplomacies of neutralism and non- alignment, and autarkical policies of isolation and xenophobic nationalism. They argue that important elements of continuity underlie Burma’s striking postcolonial policy changes and contrasting diplomatic practices. Among the defining factors here are the formidable dominance of the Burmese armed forces over state structure, the enduring domestic political conundrum and the peculiar geography of a country located at the crossroads of India, China and Southeast Asia.


Egreteau and Jagan argue that the Burmese military still has the tools needed to retain their praetorian influence over the country’s foreign policy in the post-junta context of the 2010s. For international policymakers, potential foreign investors and Burma’s immediate neighbors, this will have strong implications in terms of the country’s foreign policy approach.
