Description:
"Since the military takeover in 1962, the internal dynamics in the Burmese
military, which is not monolithic, have greatly affected the way successive
military governments have organised themselves and operated. Top military
leaders have devised their ideas, built up their power bases and purged rival
factions in order to maintain their hardline approaches and their hold on power.
This chapter explains how the internal dynamics of the Burmese military played
out before, during and after the September 2007 demonstrations and analyses
their impact, especially on political and socioeconomic reforms. It also considers
possible future internal dynamics, how they might play out and the potential
impacts for the country as a whole..."
