Description:
Abstract: "This article explores the institutionalization of state-led development
in Myanmar after 1988 in comparison with Suharto?s Indonesia. The
analysis centres on the characteristics and theory of developmental states
that emerged from the studies of East Asian countries like Japan, South
Korea, and Taiwan. In Southeast Asia, Suharto?s Indonesia was perceived as
a successful case and was studied by scholars in line with the characteristics
of the developmental state. The Tatmadaw (military) government in Myanmar
was believed to follow the model of state-led development in Indonesia
under Suharto where the military took the role of establishing economic and
political development. However, Myanmar has yet to achieve its goal of
building a successful state-led development. Therefore, this paper argues
that implementing an efficient and effective institutionalization is essential
for a successful state-led development (developmental state) in Myanmar."....
