Abstract

Myanmar, modern dönemden beri askeri vesayetin güçlü olduğu bir Güneydoğu Asya ülkesidir. 1 Şubat 2021 tarihinde gerçekleşen son askeri darbeyle birlikte Myanmar Cuntası’nın Rusya ve Çin’le yakınlaşmaya başladığı görülmüştür. Batılı güçler Myanmar Cuntası’na yaptırımlar getirirken Rusya ve Çin’in bu rejimine silah satmaya devam etmesi oldukça dikkat çekmiştir. Dünya kamuoyunda Çin’in Myanmar üzerinde büyük bir hakimiyet kurduğu iddia edilmiştir. Ancak aynı süreçte Rusya’nın Myanmar’la ilişkileri de artarak devam etmiştir. İşbu çalışma, Rusya ve Çin’in Myanmar’daki stratejileri karşılaştırmalı olarak analiz etmektedir

A Comparative Analysis of Russia and China’s Myanmar Strategies

Abstract

Myanmar is a Southeast Asian country where military tutelage has been strong since the modern era. With the last military coup on February 1, 2021, it was seen that the Myanmar Junta started to get closer with Russia and China. While the Western powers impose sanctions on the Myanmar Junta, the fact that Russia and China continued to sell weapons to this regime drew considerable worldwide attention. It has been claimed in the world opinion that China has established a great dominance over Myanmar. However, in the same period, Russia's relations with Myanmar continued to increase. This study comparatively analyses the strategies of Russia and China in Myanmar.
