ЮГО-ВОСТОЧНАЯ АЗИЯ: АКТУАЛЬНЫЕ ПРОБЛЕМЫ РАЗВИТИЯ, 2010, №15, 46-78

 
Annotation: Dr. Nina Lebedeva analyses basic features of contemporary international relations and interactions in the «Myanmar - India - China» triangle. The author shows specific political, strategic and economic interests of the said countries and contradictions between these «actors». She also considers varied mechanisms of the realization of their goals in the region as well as the existing problems and limits for compromise. Great attention is paid to Chinese endeavors to get a vitally important approach to the Indian Ocean Zone via Myanmar by implementing its «String of Pearls» course. India, on her part, is seeking new approaches for realization of its «Look East Policy» and for solving complicated problems in its unstable and underdeveloped Northeastern Region. As for Myanmar, it uses interaction with both Asian giants and other states to achieve more balanced position in South-East Asia after decades of isolation.
