Link: The Economist’s Banyan on Burma and Indonesia
by maltzajava on August 20, 2009
This week’s opinion column on Asia in the Economist highlighted the ways Burma and Indonesia became fellow travelers in matters of military control of their society and how the two countries have parted ways in terms of development.
I was highly interested in this excellent piece because it echoes certain things that I argued in another article I wrote on this blog about Indonesia and the Asian Values debate.
Enjoy!
