発表要旨
Many countries in Southeast Asia have a history of military rule or strong military influence over government. Today, military or former military leaders continue to influence the destiny of some SE Asian nations up to the highest levels. Given that many of these leaders have been molded in military academies, it is in the interest of society to inquire into and enhance the education and training conducted by these institutions.
Most military academies in SE Asia were patterned after western models. Even today, some SE Asian academies continue to look westward for new initiatives in training. It is axiomatic that while much can be learned from the west, training should be adapted to the local context. Hence, it would be helpful for SE Asian military academies to revisit their training paradigms, whether these are still relevant to their culture and current needs, and consistent with strengthening democracy, stability, and cooperation in the region.
One reason, perhaps, for the readiness of SE Asian military academies to follow western models is the abundance of information on western military academies books, films, studies, government reports while the literature on any Asian military academy training model have been scarce or impenetrable. This study aims to help alleviate the dearth of information by documenting the training methods and traditions of four SE Asian military academies and the defense academy of Japan with a view towards determining the best practices in training for Asian military academies.
