Authoritarianism, Totalitarianism, Back to the Barracks: the Divergent Paths taken by the Military in Myanmar and Indonesia<\/strong><\/p>\n

Historically, Myanmar and Indonesian armed forces exhibited significant similarities: both fought wars of independence, liberated their countries from colonial rule and played a crucial role in the construction and protection of their new states. Both faced accusations of human rights\u2019 abuses as well as held substantial business interests. In the authoritarian era, Indonesia\u2019s military held 20% of the parliament\u2019s seats. Myanmar, \u2013 who learnt from the Indonesian experience- followed suit in 2008 by giving their military 25% parliamentary seats. However, by that time, Indonesia, which went through a post-authoritarian reform in 1998, had scrapped the policy, thereby returning the military to their barracks. Indonesia has thereby succeeded in officially abolishing the military\u2019s parliamentary position and making the military supportive of the democratization process. In contrast, Myanmar\u2019s military has been reluctant to relinquish power and even staged a coup in February 2021. What accounts for the divergent paths that the militaries of Myanmar and Indonesia have taken?<\/p>\n
