拉玛五世改革和敏同王改革成败的地缘政治分析

Geopolitical analysis for the success and failure of the RamaⅤ reformation and the King Mindon reformmation

拉玛五世改革和敏同王改革处在不同的地缘政治环境中。缅甸 ,从其地理位置来说 ,关系到英国在东南亚甚至整个亚洲的殖民侵略计划 ,敏同王的改革必然受到掣肘。而暹罗有利的地缘政治环境使它成为英法两国殖民争夺自然的缓冲地带 ,为拉玛五世改革的进展以至于成功提供了足够的空间和余地。

The RamaⅤreformation and King Mindon reformation were in different geopolitical environment. As Burma, for its geographical location, played a crucial role in the colonial invasive strategy of Great Britain in South-east Asia even in the whole Asia, King Mindon reformation was doomed to be refrained. On the contrary, the advantageous geopolitical environment made Thailand become the natural buffering zone of colonial struggle between Great Britain and France, which left sufficient space for the advancement, even success for RamaⅤreformation.
