520 |a 'Soldiers and Diplomacy' explores Burma's relations with the outside world since independence in 1948, and addresses the key question of the ongoing role of the military in Burma's foreign policy post-junta context. The co-authors, a political scientist and a former top Asia editor for the BBC, provide a fresh perspective on Burma's foreign and security policies, arguing that key elements of continuity underlie Burma's striking postcolonial policy changes and contrasting diplomatic practices, which have moved between pro-active diplomacies of neutralism and non-alignment, and autarkical policies of isolation and xenophobic nationalism. The formidable dominance of the Burmese armed forces over state structure, as well as the enduring domestic political conundrum and the peculiar geography of a country located at the crossroads of India, China and Southeast Asia, all have greatly influenced the definition and evolution of Burma's foreign relations over the years. The authors 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 neighbours, this will have strong implications in terms of the country's foreign policy approach.
