Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index.
Summary Myanmar seems no closer to a political resolution even as economic, minority, developmental and environmental situations continue to worsen. Myanmar: the state, community and the environment explains how and why the government and opposition groups have missed opportunities to find a way out of this political impasse. New insights are provided on aspects of Myanmars economic development, focusing on the vital rice-marketing sector and attempts to expand industrial zones. For the first time, Myanmars environmental issues are examined comprehensively, with an assessment of the serious problems of environmental governance documented using in-depth case studies that provide evidence of a serious neglect of environmental protection and sustainability.
