Military leaders and their dominance in Southeast Asian politics

Nearly half of Southeast Asian countries are now governed by former military generals or military regimes, a concerning trend for democracy and human rights in the region, experts say
The article from TBS News discusses the pervasive influence of military leaders in Southeast Asian politics, highlighting how military involvement has shaped governance in countries like Myanmar, Thailand, and Indonesia. It details how Myanmar's military has maintained significant control over the government, even after the 2015 elections, through mechanisms like the 2008 constitution which reserves key positions for military personnel. In Thailand, the military has staged coups, with the most recent in 2014, leading to a government dominated by military figures. The article also touches on Indonesia's history of military rule under Suharto, where the military was deeply embedded in both political and economic spheres. It explores the reasons behind this military dominance, including historical legacies of colonialism, the need for stability in post-independence states, and the military's role in national identity and security. The piece concludes by noting the challenges these countries face in transitioning to full civilian rule, given the entrenched power and economic interests of the military.
