虽然人们通常认为缅甸强大的军事政权不允许有任何回旋余地，但本文认为，民间社会行为者的空间确实存在于三个特定领域：首先，在国家内部变革的范围内；其次，在弱福利国家的各个部门；第三，在停火地区一些谈判确定的相对民族自治空间内。虽然这些回旋余地始终与军政权的独裁性质有关，但民间社会行动者利用一切可用空间来解决各自社区的福利需求。为了研究缅甸独裁背景下公民社会的发展，作者提出了对公民社会及其行动范围进行关系性理解的基本方法。
While it is often assumed that the strong military regime of Myanmar does not allow any room for manoeuvre, this article argues that spaces for civil society actors do exist within three specific areas: firstly, within the ambit of changes within the state itself; secondly, in various sectors of the weak welfare state; and thirdly, within some of the negotiated spaces of relative ethnic autonomy in ceasefire areas. While these rooms for manoeuvre are always relational to the authoritarian nature of the military regime, civil society actors use every space available in order to tackle the welfare needs of their respective communities. To study civil society developments in the authoritarian context of Myanmar the author develops primal approaches to a relational understanding of civil society and the scope of action it has.
