This volume focuses on some of the most important and topical
questions about Myanmar. Many of these issues have not been
sufficiently researched, comprehensively compiled, and
comparatively examined within the broader Southeast Asian context.
Especially important contributions in the book pertain to issues of
historical influence and political considerations that have shaped
the dominant thinking within the state and the military. There are
equally important studies of sensitive topics like the political
economy of the state and the level of human security in the
country. The three major ethnic groups in the country - Karen,
Kachin, and Shan - are also studied in detail. Some of the
negotiations between the Karen and Kachin ethnic insurgent group
representatives on the one hand, and the military junta on the
other, are spelled out in detail. An important corollary finding is
the importance of religion and religious personalities in brokering
peace between the ethnic groups and the military government.
Finally, the book deals with how the various ethnic groups are
trying to cope with decades of conflict and reconstruct their
communities.
