Abstract

This work is to explore the impact of the crisis of 1988 in Myanmar on U. S. - Burmese relations. To the aim, in the first place, it traces the historical pattern of relations between the U. S. and Myanmar before the crisis. Secondly, this paper surveys U. S. policy toward Myanmar in the wake of the events of 1988. Finally, it evaluates a result of U. S. policy toward the Burmese government in the conflict. Based upon the exploration, this paper makes a conclusion that the crisis of 1988 in Myanmar marked at least a moderate departure in the historical pattern of Myanmar - American relations.
