	ISN Security Watch - Myanmar's costless hard-line shift
		Under military rule, Myanmar has had one of the most reclusive regimes in the world, limiting external contacts and refusing to participate fully in the globalization project, which involves free trade and investment, privatization, and democratic institutions.
		The military regime, which has been fighting chronic wars with at least 20 insurgent ethnic groups and has been accused by human rights organizations of using prisoners as slave labor, has been able to persist without facing external military threats.
		Although it is difficult to pin down the political maneuvering within Myanmar's secretive regime, analysts agree that Nyunt's downfall was the result of a power struggle between hard-line and pragmatist factions within the country's military establishment.
