cialism and the army: the establishment of the ‘Burmese Way to Socialism’ and the consolidation of the socialist military regime in Burma (1962-1974)
Keywords:
Burma, Burmese way to socialism, Burma socialist programme party, Ne Win, socialism, marxism, armyAbstract
From the analysis of primary sources available, combined with foreign literature, this article examines the first stage of the so-called «Burmese Way to Socialism», a utopian, revolutionary and militaristic experiment developed in Burma between 1962 and 1988, which ended in a resounding failure. This first stage was marked by the left-wing military regime’s desire to promote this socialist ideology with Burmese characteristics and, as we shall see, by the attempt of the regime to legitimize its authority by strengthening its political wing, the Burma Socialist Programme Party, as the only authorized party.Downloads
