Summary: | 碩士 === 淡江大學 === 東南亞研究所 === 89 === After World War II, the colonies in Asia and Africa under the control of Western imperialism finally got their independence after some struggles. The elite of the majority ethnic groups governed the political system, which is pertained to the development of the entire nation.
Although the establishment of the constitutional system varied in the countries of the Southeast Asia, the pattern of the “legalized” regime through election was the same. When the policy was carried out, the attitude of the majority ethnic groups decided whether the two groups-the majority and the minority- could live in peace or crush in numerous political conflicts. After experiencing the Civil War that lasted for 50 years, Myanmar is facing this kind of situation now.
