Burma: The Challenge of Change in a Divided Society

This volume contains eight contributions, divided into four main politics and constitution-making; the economy and the role of foreign aid; the minorities; and foreign policy, in particular Burma’s post-independence relations with China. Includes a foreword by Aung San Suu Kyi, first democratically elected in 1990 on the National League for Democracy (NLD) platform, then ousted by the military, and subsequently awarded the 1991 Nobel Peace Prize.
