Product Description

Synopsis
Burma remains a land in deep crisis. The popular uprising in 1988 swept away 26 years of military rule under General Ne Win in name only. The National League for Democracy of Aung San Suu Kyi won a landslide victory in the 1990 election, but the military have remained in control, and Burma's future looks more problematic than ever. This book charts the rise of modern political parties, unravels the complexities of the long-running insurgencies waged by opposition groups, and explains how a fertile and potentially prosperous Asian country has become one of the world's poorest. This revised and updated edition of the standard work on 40 years of Burmese independence includes a new chapter on the 1990 elections and events since.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE outstanding study of ethnic politics in Burma, 21 Jan 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Burma: Insurgency and the Politics of Ethnicity (Politics in contemporary Asia series) (Hardcover)
British writer and analyst Martin Smith is the world's leading expert on ethnic politics and insurgency in Burma. He spent the best part of a decade researching and writing this book. The fact that it has now been re-published twice indicates that this is still the definitve treatement of the subject. A must for all Burma heads.
